Columbus will travel by shuttle to the international space station. There will be live coverage of the launch with links at the European Space Agency (esa)website. It's been said that it is 25 years late, with the project compared with the time in which Christopher Columbus raised interest, and financial backing for his voyage west.., but he only had to buy a boat.
