SpaceX Crew Demo Launch today!

Lift off set for 4:33pm. Weather looking icky.

First launch to space of crews from US soil since 2011.

This is amazing to witness. And I’m surprised it’s been that long since U.S astronauts launched into space.

American Engineers "think" to much. Lol.


NASA will have two more, different, operational crew spacecrafts soon.

There is the Orion Spacecraft, sitting around waiting for Boeing to get it's act together with the Space Launch System. Orion, is designed for Deep Space Missions: Moon, later Mars. This spacecraft launched, un-crewed back in 2014.



And, a Boeing Spacecraft: Starliner CST-100. This ship launched earlier this year, un-crweed and in typical Boeing Fashion; was a complete failure. But it did launch and land safely. Starliner, like the Dragon launching today (with crew) is to carry crews to the space station.



So, by the end of 2022, the US and NASA will have 3 different spacecrafts for human flights.
