NASA launched the shuttle Endeavour today on a home-improvement mission to the space station, where the ship will deliver new bedrooms, a gym and a device that turns astronauts' urine and sweat into drinking water. The Endeavour lifted off at about 7:55 p.m. local time from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Its cargo will double the station's living capacity to six and includes a second toilet and an extra refrigerator for the $100 billion outpost, currently manned by one Russian and two U.S. astronauts.    (source: bloomberg.com)
