Happy Memorial Day to America! NASA and SpaceX officials conducted the Launch Readiness Review several hours ago, and the launch of astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to the International Space Station this Wednesday is officially a GO! Lift-off is still scheduled for 4:33 PM, Eastern Daylight Time (1:33 PM, Pacific Daylight Time), with a 60% chance of the weather cooperating at Cape Canaveral for the afternoon launch. The Falcon 9 rocket—with the Crew Dragon at the top—sit quietly at Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39A...waiting to ignite its nine Merlin 1D engines to send American astronauts to low-Earth orbit from American soil for the first time since 2011, and begin a new era of human spaceflight! Can't wait.
