Due to the large tropical storm in the Gulf, NASA have been forced to shorten the final spacewalk that astronauts on the space shuttle Endeavour was supposed to carry out.
NASA have been forced to bring the Endeavour shuttle back to earth on Tuesday, in case hurricane Dean moved near mission control in Houston, Texas.
If hurricane Dean gathers strength and moves towards Houston, then the space shuttle Endeavour will be forced to relocate to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
