    SpaceX first launch American Astronauts... 'Vehicle is supersonic'

    SpaceX and Nasa are launching a Rocket today aren't they ?
    It is first launch on US soil since the last Shuttle launch.

    I wanna know what ilan has on all this.
    These game changers in the area of space exploration are fantastic. Not that coperation with SpaceX and NASA are a game changer, but damn fine to see.

    I seen a model the other day about how things could go.
    Seeing future models of space stations and groups of such stations, each with their own functions and limits, like an aircraft carrier at sea.

    We needed private enterprise to re-energize space exploration in the US. Too many people in government felt delegating money for space exploration was a waste. Unfortunately, people wanted to see an immediate return on investment, and the advancement of science wasn't viewed as a viable measure of success. I hope we have liftoff on Sat.

    What time is SpaceX's Demo-2 astronaut launch for NASA?
    Hanneke Weitering, Space | 29 May 2020

    Mark your calendars!


    NASA astronaut Bob Behnken is seen on the fixed service structure of Launch Complex 39A before boarding SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft on top of the Falcon 9 rocket on May 27, 2020, at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

    SpaceX will make a second attempt at launching its first Crew Dragon spacecraft with astronauts this weekend after the liftoff of the historic Demo-2 mission was scrubbed due to bad weather on Wednesday (May 27).

    While the planned launch date has changed, so has the time, so be sure to take note of the updated schedule and don't miss the big event! SpaceX is now targeting Saturday (May 30) at 3:22 p.m. EDT (1922 GMT) for the liftoff of the Falcon 9 rocket that will send veteran NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley toward the International Space Station from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

    If the launch attempt on Saturday is delayed again due to the weather — there's currently a 50% chance of unfavorable launch weather — the next available launch window will be on Sunday (May 31) at 3 p.m. EDT (1900 GMT).
    __________________________________________

    The launch can be watched on the NASA Channel. There are several other streams available, many on Youtube. If you need to find one, just enter "stream spacex" on Google and you'll turn up several options. - ilan

    At the moment, the weather is looking good, with a 70% chance of launch.
