Endeavour Docks With ISS

NASA ISS On-Orbit Status 16 November 2008

"STS-126/Endeavour docked smoothly at the ISS PMA-2 (Pressurized Mating Adapter-2) port at 5:01pm EST, four minutes ahead of timeline, in darkness (orbital sunset ~4:34pm/sunrise ~5:09pm)."

STS-126 Arrives at the International Space Station

"The station and shuttle crews will open the hatches between their vehicles and greet each other in about two hours. Sandra Magnus, who arrived aboard Endeavour, will swap Soyuz seatliners with station astronaut Greg Chamitoff and replace him as Expedition 18 Flight Engineer."

I think its a pretty sad statement about the general enthusiasm level for manned spaceflight when the thread regarding Harrison Schmitt's global warming politics is up to 20-something posts, and the thread regarding Endeavour docking with ISS is empty. People would rather argue over politics than explore and work in space, it seems.

GO ENDEAVOUR!
