The first family will watch the last launch of NASA’s youngest shuttle. After this mission, the shuttle will retire and will be sent for public display in a California museum. Endeavour will blast off from Kennedy Space Center in Cape
Canaveral, Fla. at 3:47 p.m. EDT on April 29.

Allard Beutel, Kennedy Space Center’s spokesman told Space.com, “We are a White House agency, we always welcome a visit from the president.”

NASA managers said that the Endeavour is ready for the next week launch from the International Space Station. Endeavour will leave for its last mission on Friday, April 29, at 3:47 p.m. EDT.

NASA's associate administrator for Space Operations, Bill Gerstenmaier said, “We have had a very extensive and thorough review. I think the things that impressed me the most is that the team is still continuing to really work issues and look at the vehicle performance on each and every flight just like they would during any normal mission.” Gerstenmaier added, “We're ready to go fly.”

Reportedly, the junk from the wreckage of the Chinese FENGYUN 1C satellite could have caused serious damage to the Expedition 27 spacecraft, which left the earth’s orbit for the ISS late Tuesday night.

"Tracking data now indicates that a piece of orbital debris being monitored by Mission Control Houston will not pass close enough to the International Space Station to warrant the Expedition 27 crew members taking safe haven within their Soyuz TMA-20 spacecraft," said NASA.
