SpaceX & NASA Make History With First U.S. Launch Since 2011

We have liftoff! SpaceX just successfully launched two NASA astronauts, Robert “Bob” Behnken and Douglas “Doug” Hurley, to orbit, igniting a new era of human space travel. The historic moment marks the first time a private company has launched astronauts into orbit and the first time two astronauts were launched into space from United States’ soil in nearly a decade.
