"We understand that this house is in need of an extreme makeover, and that you're the crew to do it," station commander Mike Fincke told Endeavour's astronauts after they entered the station. "We're really glad to see you. ... Welcome to space."

The shuttle, which also brought mission specialist Sandra Magnus to replace station flight engineer Greg Chamitoff, had docked with the station just after 5 p.m. ET about 212 miles above northern India.
