NASA, SpaceX launch astronauts from US soil CNN 31 May 2020
SpaceX made history Saturday with a successful rocket launch from the Kennedy Space Center.
The Falcon 9 launch was the first to carry American astronauts launched from American soil in nearly a decade, and the first time a private company has sent people to space.
Mark Strassman reports.
A SpaceX spacecraft carrying two NASA astronauts soared into outer space — marking the first time humans have traveled into Earth's orbit from US soil in nearly a decade.
Liftoff occurred just after 3:20 pm ET from Florida's Kennedy Space Center.
Astronauts Robert Behnken, 49, and Douglas Hurley, 53, will spend about 19 hours aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule as it slowly maneuvers its way toward the International Space Station. YouTube
