Anticipation and excitement at a fever over at Cape Canaveral, Florida, as Elon Musk's SpaceX and NASA prepare for their joint launch later today. This historic mission, known as the Demo- 2 mission, will feature SpaceX's first-ever crewed spaceflight, ushering in a new era of space travel.

NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will be traveling to the International Space Station on SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft, lifting off on a Falcon 9 rocket at 4:33 p.m. EDT. In short, today will mark the first time a privately owned company took humans to the ISS.
