First Human Space Launch from US Soil in yonks
    #26699587 - 05/27/20 02:03 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Everyone watching? Live stream

SpaceX is using a Falcon 9, launching two astronauts to meet the ISS.

Trump is there, Clinton was the last US President to watch such a launch.

From the YouTube link:

Quote:


SpaceX is targeting Wednesday, May 27 for Falcon 9’s launch of Crew Dragon’s second demonstration (Demo-2) mission from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This test flight with NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley on board the Dragon spacecraft will return human spaceflight to the United States.

The instantaneous launch window opens at 4:33 p.m. EDT, or 20:33 UTC, with backup instantaneous launch opportunities available on Saturday, May 30 at 3:22 p.m. EDT, or 19:22 UTC, and on Sunday, May 31 at 3:00 p.m. EDT, or 19:00 UTC. Tune in here to watch the launch webcast. Coverage will begin about 4 hours before liftoff.

Demo-2 is the final major test for SpaceX’s human spaceflight system to be certified by NASA for operational crew missions to and from the International Space Station. SpaceX is returning human spaceflight to the United States with one of the safest, most advanced systems ever built, and NASA’s Commercial Crew Program is a turning point for America’s future in space exploration that lays the groundwork for future missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Between the SpaceX and NASA channels alone there's over 2.2M people watching right now! I wish the live chat was open.

Only a few minutes before the Field Mill results are back.


Edit: Spoke too soon, they just aborted.

It was a fantastic success.

Now what do you think this will mean for Russia? Roscosmos seemed to survive on the money made from NASA paying for the lifts.
