Endeavour Undocks and Heads for Home
From Times Wire Reports
The space shuttle Endeavour undocked from the international space station and headed for home. Aboard are one American and two Russians who spent the last six months on the station.
Endeavour is due back Wednesday, although storms are forecast for Cape Canaveral and could delay the long-overdue homecoming for cosmonauts Valery Korzun and Sergei Treschev and astronaut Peggy Whitson.
They spent an extra 1 1/2 months aloft because of various shuttle problems; Monday was their 180th day in orbit.
