The US space agency (Nasa) plans just four further shuttle missions after this one - and all of them are planned to launch in daylight hours.

Endeavour's mission is an important moment for the European Space Agency's (Esa) contribution to the station project. Both the new modules were manufactured in Italy by Thales Alenia Space.

That's pretty much the end for cities on the moon and manned flights to Mars that the last generation was imagining for these years.
