Our #LaunchAmerica mission passed its final major review today at NASA’s Space Launch System in Florida, and teams received the “go” to proceed toward launch. NASA Astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley are scheduled to liftoff aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft Wednesday at 4:33 p.m. EDT: https://go.nasa.gov/2ATRHSq

Very excited about this!

NASA and SpaceX are closer than ever to a moment both have been preparing for since the beginning of the Commercial Crew program in 2010. SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon spacecraft are now set to fly with NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken onboard, making a trip to the International Space Station, and both the agency and SpaceX announced today that they have officially passed the final flight readiness review, meaning everything is now a ‘go’ for launch.

According to NASA Commercial Crew Program manager Kathy Leuders during a press conference on Monday, everything went well with all pre-launch flight checks thus far, including a full-length static test fire of the Falcon 9’s engines, and a dress rehearsal of all launch preparation including strapping Hurley and Behnken into the rocket.

In the beginning, everyone was skeptical. But Elon Musk’s SpaceX defied expectations — and on Wednesday hopes to make history by ferrying two NASA astronauts into space, the first crewed flight from US soil in nine long years.

A new era in human space flight is upon us. In the coming days, NASA, with SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon, will launch two Americans from US soil for the first time in almost ten years since the Space Shuttle’s retirement. Today I present you with this infographic showing how they will send a crewed spacecraft to the International Space Station and returning them safely home. My plan is to update the information in the infographic as the mission progresses to its conclusion then present a final commemorative historic infographic portrayal of the Demo-2 Mission.
