Day 10 of the Endeavour STS 130 mission to the International Space Station was a fantastic success. At the end of the third day of working in space, astronauts Nicholas Patrick and Robert Behnken had completed the installation of the cupola. They took off the shields and ISS crew inside were able to open the cupola shutters for that 360 degree 3D view of earth and space. President Obama had a video conference at 5:30 PM today to congratulate them on their mission success. The Italians who built the Tranquility Module with its cupola should be celebrating tonight.
