We’re Going to Space Today!

Astronauts are set to launch into space from American soil today for the first time since 2011. Space X is launching their Crew Dragon capsule, with NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken. This will be the first time a commercially built vehicle carries NASA astronauts into orbit and the first time that SpaceX attempts to ferry human passengers to the space station. It launches at 4:33pm eastern time, so 1:30 over here from Kennedy Space Center. Check out the full article and a link to stream the launch live below
