SpaceX crew launch

[willwander]

Elon Musk's SpaceX plans to launch two Nasa astronauts on their way to the International Space Station (ISS) tonight.
First time in crew dragon spacecraft, first time a private vehicle has taken people to the space station.
Amazing stuff.

Lift off is scheduled 21:33 BST,
You can watch live here, hope all goes well.

I read about it today, amazing.

not a joke, but the astronaut will be brought to the launch pad in a Tesla Model X... what a coincidence!

Shame Tesla had to rename the model E to model 3 to sit alongside the other models S _ XY.

Unfortunately, launch scrubbed, with 17 mins to go, due to weather.
They will try again on Saturday.

Try again, 10 minutes to lift off
