Thanks to positive results on all pre-flight checks, NASA officials on Saturday unanimously gave the go-ahead for the Monday launch of the space shuttle Endeavour.

"The system looks good, the weather looks good, and we should be in good shape for launch," NASA Space Shuttle Program Launch Integration Manager Mike Moses told reporters Saturday. "In our minds, we are good to go."

An estimated 500,000 people are expected to be on hand Monday at the Kennedy Space Center, said NASA's shuttle launch director Michael D. Leinbach. Lift-off is scheduled for 8:56 a.m.
