NASA scrambled someone out to pad 39A with a new sign that has the orbiter Endeavour’s name spelled correctly, and then posted a photo at the Kennedy Space Center’s website.
When the shuttle was rolled out to its seaside launch complex Wednesday, one item was missing: the “u” in Endeavour.
The included photo shows that the typo was on a banner at the perimeter fence, and not on the orbiter’s paint job as the text implies…imagine NASA’s embarrassment from having to roll back to the VAB to fix the paint (or of foregoing that expense and delay and flying with the wrong name on the orbiter).
At least (unlike “tommorrow” or “potatoe”) it’s an understandable mistake.
