Astronauts will once again lift off from U.S. soil on an American rocket for a 19-hour trip to the space station. The mission also marks the first time a private company has carried NASA astronauts to the station.

NASA, SpaceX Set To Launch Historic Mission In Just Hours | NBC Nightly News
Believe me the most important thing right now, is getting a REAL president in the white house!!
Getting this goofball (trump) OUT!!
@Jay Bodner
And all you cowardly false idol maggots know is how to be welfare queens
@Master Mama Wrong!
@Michael Ortiz You are just proving my point.
@Michael Ortiz Ahhhh…..I think you are confused my friend. “welfare queens” are democraps. I am an independent that has a job and earns a living.
Michael Ortiz why’d you suddenly resort to ad hominem interrogation? Usernames bother you often?
A SCAB car company launching a spaceship what could go wrong
Nothing. Because no unions are involved. Unions, are related to organize crime or behave like organize crime. Unions have no place in the US economy. We have enough laws to protect workers it’s not 1900 anymore. Unions drive the cost of labor they drive the cost for consumers and they get in the way of progress. So I expect the rocket to take off just like a none union business.
It could run into another scabship on the way up.
This “car” company has already made multiple launches that was sucessful what is the issue Boomer?
ZeloticMemes that’s what I said. No use in your engaging the age-discrimination dysfunction.
Beam Me Up ! 🚀 See Ya Covid 19.
Say hi to buzz light year😂
😂😂😂
It’s a secret mission in uncharted space
Say hi to starman 🏎🚘
loved it
bot
Never happened, 🤖
They should send a man & a woman. They could potentially be the next Adam & Eve !
They are, in 2024
they’re going to the iss they do it all the time
David…women regularly go to the ISS.
It’s demo, woman’s play safe most of the time
Seeing that the UN graciously outlawed the verbosities ‘husband’ & ‘wife’.
LOL!! DEVILS👹👹👹👹👹👹
And how
mc lil Zen the poet Legion
Everything is touchscreen, just like on Star Trek USS Enterprise 🙂
Jason Goodacre I think analog and manual is better. Much more failsafe
WHAT a waste of MONEY American people say NO to this waste
K boomer enjoy life here on Earth when humanity moves to space
ZeloticMemes Bonn voyages https://youtu.be/lk83N2u1ZmY
@Rýán Túçk what? I wasnt talking with you lol
ZeloticMemes yes you were. I have a currently incurable syndrome which causes specific medical conditions disqualifying ie. space travel as a safe endeavor for me. You’re not only excluding every landlocked entity such as myself from ‘humanity’- clearly lumping all such landlubbers into a monolithic set, but in my case you’re also weaponizing “boomers” as if describing ‘physically crippled’ phenotypes is a constructive use of language. It is not; indeed , it is assuredly most toxic!
@Rýán Túçk oh ur trolling thank god
what a farce!
Raul Garcia Why would anyone die right now? If you mean from global warming or something then sure I don’t want to die, but canceling spacex from launching won’t save anybody.
Ron Dear ‘ET fall hole’. ET dies *
@Ron Dear i’m not saying we dont learn anything from these advancements, but what I am saying, is these superfluous expenditures wont heal, a very sick planet, ensuring most creatures living right now, including us, will go extinct. and if you dont think that is possible, I feel sorry for you brother
Raul Garcia I think it’s very probable that we could mess the earth up so badly that we can’t live here anymore. Heck, I think it’s very likely that we will.
What I’m saying is that NOT going to space and not doing amazing things like this will not help our situation.0
Raul Garcia advancement is a euphemism for ‘single iteration of progress after a preponderance of errors’.
waste
*You’re
liquidbraino you could have graduated with “YOUR” classmates, if “YOU’RE IQ wasn’t so low.
WHY???
Jay Bodner, fake news=waste of time.
🤗
Safe travels
Safe staycations.
Ahh the voices of so many 21st century Luddites
I know what a Luddite is. Why are you saying that?? Makes no sense.
Ahh so much machinery not up to the task.
Now does it make sense?
watch trump try & steal Elons thunder, & weave space force into the narrative
Excuse you. NO PARTISAN B.S. HERE.
Jay Bodner yes, thank you
We will finally defeat the Moon. This time without a rover.
It’s only about 450 miles away from the earth, right before Van Allen radiation belts, the only test that I’m waiting for is to go through the belts again. I want to see that. If I see that, then I’ll believe we went to the moon. They never go past 450 miles since Apollo missions.
There’s hasn’t been money or enough public interest to go back to the moon until recently. People cared so little they canceled Apollo 18-20 because of funding issues.
There’s been no need to send people through the Van Allen Belts since Apollo.
liquidbraino you got liquid running out “you’re” ears!!!
They send satellites in geostationary orbit 22000 miles. Why do you think that electronics wouldn’t burn in that Van Allen belt if is really an issue.
@Ron Dear The take rocket through the belts, turn around and come back, no big deal, right?
yourallsinners 1 wrong time, wrong place. Lost in Space.
GOD BLESS Y’ALL !!!
Thank you Trump for restarting the space program after Obama aka worst president ever dismantled it. 🇺🇸
JM G wrong net work go back to Fox where you belong!
@Lynn Kliewer – Why don’t YOU go back to FAKE cnn. Lynn – Typical democrap…pontificating and telling others what to do.
You do realize that Trump just murdered more Americans than Osama Bin Laden on 9/11!?!!
And we’re wasting tax payer dollars on dumb programs such as this!
@Jay Bodner C’mon, you have to admit Fox is heavily biased. Read and watch more than 1 news network.
SpaceX is proof, that John F. Kennedy was correct when he stated that NASA should eventually not be funded by the taxpayers because it would lead to waste, and stagnation of idea’s. He said space travel should be done by private companies, with new ideas, healthy competition, and economical ways of building new, space craft . He was right. Go SpaceX !!
new smelling, space craft beer. Grab a pint before it’s assassinated.
NASA isn’t wasteful, it’s congress.
Nasa is also important in Research and development with facilities that the private industry can’t match.
Both public and private can work in harmony and achieve things greater than either of them could alone
Renaissance Man you lost everyone at “great than”.
Elon Musk Is My Hero
ET Is My Heroine
Did we really go to the moon ?
Today that seems hard to believe.
Isn’t the correct question, “are we going back?“?
Yes. Also, the Earth is not flat!
Yes. Just like driving cars with no seatbelts or crumple zones, people back then weren’t afraid to take chances. Nowadays we spend so much time testing things because of liability, innovation has stagnated. It took ten years to go from huge mainframe computers with tubes and punch cards to the PC. What have we done in the last ten? Oooh, a better camera on your phone.
Roscoe Maddox you’re conflating flat earthers with Apollo’s conspiracy theorists.
@Rýán Túçk Well, Flat earthers attack the validity of the Apollo program a lot, too. Their mindset is “If we prove that the moon landings were fake, we could prove that space itself is fake too”.
Even though the president will be attending, I hope they don’t foolishly push the launch if weather conditions get sketchy. Better safe than sorry.
Even though a president might cancel his show, I hope they don’t foolishly postpone takeoff if the Musks don’t show up. Better sane than soaring.
Rýán Túçk drunkard.
yourallsinners 1 teetotaler*
Life isnt about space god put us hear on earth
You really should use the spell check.
God didn’t say we’re not allowed to leave
“Hear” you can scream, ‘Nobody alive in space!’.
It’s not a “private company” if it’s working with NASA and taking space nerds to the stars… Stop it, get some help.
@Name Redacted You seem to not be able to understand that private corporations work with government agencies all the time, yet they are not owned nor controlled by the government. If I am a “pathetic child” then I truly am disappointed that people like you have the ability to vote, with such a close minded outlook.
Name Redacted Yeah. I work at a public university, and when we pay for services from or hire private companies to do something for us, that doesn’t mean we own them or even control them beyond the specific thing they’re doing for us.
Klai I’m disappointed that I have to share the same planet as you.
Ron Dear That’s because your just a measly university.. What power could you possibly have?
What say ye if the pilots are revealed to be luddites?
It is time Elon.m
It’s About Time: the Baby.s
Yooooooo I’M READY TO WATCH THIS. I’LL BE WITH THEM ON YOUTUBE AND MENTALLY WHEN THIS POPS OFF
When is the launch ?
Louis Depasse scrubbed. I too was mentally prepared for it. FuckingNBC never announced its cancellation.
@Rýán Túçk OK
AMERICA!! 🇺🇸
Allie Rod you do realize that America has the MOST INFECTIONS and MOST DEATHS in the entire world!?!
Iran and North Korea are doing better jobs than Trump!!
Great Exarchos who said anything about that
Great Exarchos if one wished to receive the cure first, one must prove having need of it all along.
Nearly a 100,000 Americans dead and over 1 million infected and this is how Trump spends our tax dollars!?!?!
Amen to that..😷😷😷
This is much more affordable than in Russian rocket, and money stay in USA.
Your taxes don’t go to this
There’s something to be said for understanding time lines, earmarked bills and paradoxical legislation.
Stormtrooper outfit v1
Tell me the time please in India time when the rocket going to launch
12hrs 15mins to go
late night
Whenever they feel like it.
Spacex is a Grant-Steeling scam, and a ploy to privatize NASA
My son is 8 years old and never seen an American launch into space from America.
Who writes this crap .
She is an astronaut, wouldn’t you be proud if your son see your bridge over Atlantic
KGB writes a 💩.
Historic, alright. A 1960’s capsule in 2020. One word describes it: pathetic.
Maybe when you start your own space company then you can change it.
Capsule can land without parachutes on land but NASA want otherwise . This is not 1960 capsule.
Ought to christen the ship “Herbie the Love Bug”.
hope everything okay?
No, it isn’t.
Finally a new suit
best wishes for a success from an average dude in the UK
@TheFourCompany
NASA: POWERED BY MEXICANS
GOOGLE IT
You know as a private company the mission controller don’t have to say – Launch he could say… “Engage” … ;D
or ‘Make it so’.
But instead had to say ‘Belay that order!’.
I go early in morning (before sunrise) and before people come out… hiking in California mountains…got to
take off the extra pounds I put on from “house arrest”.
Bitter sweet, sweet because we are launching from U.S. soil again, bitter because of the number of American citizens that had no idea it’s been 11 years. Good luck and god’s speed, there is a lot more than two people riding on this launch.
Annnnd they’re called ‘stowaways’.
Y’all are oblivious.. there is no space mission.. there is no going into outer space.. there will be a great mishap that will inhibit this.. just wait and see
I don’t call inhibiting weather a great mishap, but it was TrumanShow-esque.
SpaceX – ”SpaceX and chill”?
Blue Origin (DM) – _ _ _
You all realize that putting a man on the moon in 1969 was all about beating the Russians and nothing to do with that Star Trecky space stuff. It was to prove rocket science superiority which was top priority in the cold war.
I’m a hard core trekker and even I cannot put one single digit on precisely what ‘Star Trecky stuff’ is supposed to indicate. Faster than light travel? First contact? Aliens? Starfleet Academy? Federation of inhabited planets? Colonizations of space?
hoax
fu n
true assessment
It’s a shame that Elon Musk put so much work into his private company, and now people are trying to make it about nationalism. If you want to make it about nationalism, try to get NASA in action again.
NASA put out of commission was so era of Obama-age.
headed for the upper atmosphere …. how exciting …… sure beats going up there in a balloon.
