20. Monday launch - maybe yes, maybe no

* Weather forecast: 60 percent chance of another delay

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., July 13 (Reuters) - The shuttle Endeavour crew climbed aboard their spaceship on Monday, hoping for a break in the weather and the start of an ambitious 16-day construction mission at the International Space Station.

The flight has been on hold for a month, delayed by fuel leaks, lightning strikes and bad weather. The forecast for Monday's launch attempt at 6:51 p.m. EDT (2251 GMT) is not encouraging, with meteorologists predicting a 60 percent chance of clouds and thunderstorms near the Florida spaceport.
