First manned SpaceX launch...this Wed.

Post by OHHS old timer »

SpaceX Crew Dragon...Wednesday 4:33 PM Eastern

Hope alot of folks get to watch this. US astronauts will blast off from Pad 39A in the 5th space vehicle (Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Space Shuttle being the previous 4).

Astronauts Bob Behnsen and Doug Hurley have experience from the Shuttle days...last shuttle mission was STS-135 on July 8, 2011.

Don't know about anyone else but I am grilling 2 hours before launch. Godspeed to both!!!
