Endevour launch aborted at last moment on fuel pump issue
Space shuttle Endeavour halted minutes before liftoff when a fuel pump on main engine No. 3 overheated and the rocket was bolted to the pad. Crew was unharmed but six astronauts were hurried from their seats as ground crews addressed the shut down in a near miss at Cape Canaveral. Another item notes hundreds of Cubans waiting in Cojimar for boats to flee to the United States amid Castro’s loosened exit restrictions and the risk of perilous crossings.
