The six astronauts with shuttle commander Mark Kelly of STS-134 are on their way to launch pad 39A to enter the orbiter of space shuttle Endeavour. U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords will be at Kennedy Space Center to watch her husband.

The first launch attempt last April 29 was scrubbed because of a technical issue. So far the weather looks good and all signs point to a good chance of launch at 8:56 a.m. Monday.

According to Orlando Sentinel blog, Monday’s STS-134 Space Shuttle Endeavour rescheduled launch is expected to draw 500,000 visitors to the Space Coast.

NASA Television will provide live coverage of the STS-134 Space Shuttle Endeavour Launch, a one of a lifetime experience.

The airline has ordered its 23 new cabin crew to master wing chun — a form of kung fu practiced by martial arts legends Bruce Lee and Ip Man — which is characterized by sharp movements and close-range combat.

While the prospect of female flight attendants busting slick kung fu moves may seem like pure anime fanboy fantasy, the training proved invaluable in a sticky situation on a recent flight from Beijing to Hong Kong, claims Eva Chan, the airline’s deputy general manager of corporate communications.

“One of the passengers was sick but he was probably drunk and felt unwell — the crew member attended to him and she realised her fitness was helping her especially because the guy was quite heavy,” Chan told South China Morning Post.

“Normally, a female cabin crew can’t handle a fat guy, especially if he’s drunk, but because of the training, she can handle it quite easily.”

The idea of compulsory martial arts training came about after the airline’s top brass watched some crew members demonstrate wing chun and dance during a company function last year.

Katherine Cheung, one of the kung fu instructors, said wing chun is well-suited for cabin crew as it can be performed in small, confined places.

Lumpy Tang, a 22-year-old flight attendant trainee, said wing chun is good for her job because it is fast and “you cannot predict what will happen on the plane.”

Chan reportedly said that on average cabin crew have to deal with disruptive passengers three times a week.
