CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.?For the second day in a row Tuesday, stormy weather prevented the returning crewmen of the international space station from being reunited with their families after a separation of six and one-half months.

Mission Control told space shuttle Endeavor commander Kenneth Cockrell that drier weather was expected today.

Endeavor has enough fuel and supplies to stay in orbit until Thursday, though NASA plans to bring the shuttle down today at either Cape Canaveral or the backup landing site in California’s Mojave Desert.

The three space station crewmen who are coming home aboard Endeavor?NASA astronauts Carl Walz and Daniel Bursch and Russian cosmonaut Yuri Onufrienko?logged their 195th day in orbit Tuesday, the longest spaceflight ever by Americans.

The seven astronauts had just one complaint: they were running short on coffee.
