CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Flashing a big smile, teacher-astronaut Barbara Morgan climbed aboard the space shuttle Endeavour on Wednesday for liftoff on a mission she hopes will realize the unfulfilled dreams of her predecessor, Christa McAuliffe.

Good weather was forecast for the planned early evening launch.

Morgan beamed and waved at the cameras and crowd as she boarded the van that transported the shuttle crew to the launch pad. She stood at the base of the pad, looking up at the towering Endeavour, before riding the elevator up with her six colleagues.

Before crawling into the shuttle, Morgan sipped water from a bottle and tapped the shoulder of a crewmate who was waiting to board. She took the center seat in the cabin’s lower compartment, the same seat occupied by McAuliffe in 1986.
