We are so pleased to share the news that the much anticipated historical NASA and SpaceX launch of the Dragon Crew Capsule has successfully taken place.

It’s been 9 years since a manned launch from US soil happened, and this is a step in the right direction to fulfill the dream of exploring the great unknown of the cosmos.

You can watch the full lead up and launch below.

Astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley have a roughly 19 hour trip to rendezvous with the ISS (International Space Station) where they’re expected to dock around 10:30 am ET on Sunday, May 31st 2020.
