NASA's Space Shuttle Endeavour launch postponed due to weather at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Thunderstorms move over the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida on July 12, 2009. The approaching storms caused NASA to stop the countdown and postpone the launch of NASA's space shuttle Endeavour. NASA is hoping that weather will be clear for another launch attempt on Monday. Endeavour and her crew are to fly a sixteen day mission to the International Space Station with the Kibo Module for the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency. (UPI Photo/Joe Marino - Bill Cantrell)
