This is the first time astronauts have launched from American soil since 2011! As part of the Demo-2 mission, the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch with astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley aboard from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

This is a pivotal step as the Demo-2 is the last major test for the SpaceX human spaceflight system which is intended to take us back to the Moon, to Mars, and beyond! The launch window opens at 2:33pm MDT and a live webcast will be available on the SpaceX website. Are you ready to watch history being made?
