Comments: The shuttle Endeavour is due to arrive at the space station Sunday afternoon carrying a cargo pod filled with new life support equipment—including a recycling system that turns astronaut urine into drinking water—to prime the outpost for the planned leap to double-sized crews next year. Four complicated spacewalks are also set for the mission to clean and grease up an ailing solar array gear. Endeavour is slated to land here at the Kennedy Space Center on Nov. 29, though the mission could be extended an extra day to give astronauts more work time in orbit.
