Endeavour leaves spaci
station, headed home
CAPE CANAVERAL. Fla.
(AP) — Space shuttle Endeavour
undocked from the international
space station on Monday and
headed for home with the one
American and two Russians who
spent the past six months aboard
the orbiting outpost.
“We promise to take good
care of space station.” astro
naut Donald Pettit told its
departing commander, cosmo
naut Valery Korzun.
Endeavour is due back on
Earth on Wednesday, though
storms are forecast for Cape
Canaveral and could delay the
long-overdue homecoming for
Korzun, cosmonaut Sergei
Treschev and astronaut Peggy
Whitson.
They spent an extra 1 1/2
months aloft because of various
shuttle problems; Monday was
their 180th day in orbit.
The space station's three new
occupants are Pettit, astronaut
Kenneth Bowersox and cosmo
naut Nikolai Budarin. Unlike the
first five sets of space station res
idents, they will spend the next
four months in solitude, with no
one showing up until it is their
tum to go home in March.
“It’s so much quieter here
now, Houston. I don’t know what
the deal is,” Bowersox radioed.
“We’re still here with you,”
Mission Control replied.
“That’s good to know,”
Bowersox said. “We’d be really
lonely without you guys.”

NEWS IN BRIEF
El Paso airport evacuated
when suspicious item found
EL PASO, Texas (AP) — A concourse at El Paso
International Airport was evacuated for about two
hours Sunday after an airport screener spotted a
suspicious item in the X-ray machine but some
how lost track of it. One airport official described
the item as contraband.
"A person might have had a weapon,'' said
Antonio Ortiz, a director of the Transportation
Security Administration in El Paso. "My first con
cern was to make sure people were screened."
The security sweep of the airport's east con
course and passenger rescreenings caused the
delay of most aircraft leaving and entering El Paso.
Thousands of travelers were affected on one of
the airport's busiest days.
"In 30 years of aviation. I've never seen a back
up quite like this," Pat Abeln, the airportsk
of aviation, told the El Paso Times in
editions. "I've asked for an explanation. IS-
supposed to have security measures in
avoid these kinds of incidents."
