On Wednesday, SpaceX is scheduled to launch two astronauts in the first human spaceflight from U.S. soil in nearly a decade.
NASA and SpaceX are go for launch.
NASA announced Friday that an exhaustive “flight readiness review” of Wednesday’s scheduled launch of a SpaceX rocket with two NASA astronauts aboard had determined that the mission could proceed.
The launch, a test flight to the International Space Station, is now set for Wednesday at 4:33 p.m. from launchpad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
=========================================================
This is a real milestone. If successful, we may no longer dependent on Russia for boosting our astronauts & stuff into orbit.
