CAPE CANAVERAL — UPDATE: Endeavour completed its journey to the pad at 3:49 a.m.

Endeavour rolled out toward its launch pad for the last time Thursday as thousands of Kennedy Space Center workers and their families took in the majestic spectacle.

...

The mission commander is Mark Kelly, the husband of U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz.

Giffords was shot in the head and critically injured in a Jan. 8 assassination attempt that killed six and wounded more than a dozen others in Tucson, Ariz.

By all accounts, Giffords is making a remarkable recovery, and Kelly has said his wife will be at KSC for the launch.
