The final mission for space shuttle Endeavour will have to wait nearly two weeks. NASA is delaying the flight because of a Russian launch conflict.
Endeavour was supposed to blast off April 19 with the husband of wounded congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Mark Kelly, at the helm. The launch is now scheduled for April 29.
NASA conferred over the weekend with the Russian Space Agency and other space station partners.
It will be Endeavour's final flight and the next-to-last shuttle mission.
An unmanned Russian cargo ship is set to blast off at the end of April. NASA did not want the craft docking at the International Space Station while Endeavour was still there.
