Description: While most people head to the beaches for their summer vacation, seven folks will head a little closer to the sun on a trip that's out of this world.They will wear suits but not to catch waves. Instead, the suited vacationers will fly into space.Space Shuttle Endeavour's STS-118 mission is the 22nd shuttle flight to the International Space Station. It will continue to build the station by delivering a third starboard truss segment, part of its support structure.School's not out for some educators; this flight will also be the first of an educator astronaut.Check out this sneak preview of the crew's summertime adventures in space.NOTE: Due to a crew change where Clay Anderson was reassigned to the 117 mission, NASA is updating this video. More to come!
