SpaceX Crew to launch 1st ALL-Civilian Crew tonight

SpaceX is targeting a five-hour launch window on Wednesday, September 15, opening at 8:02 p.m. EDT (Thursday, September 16 at 00:02 UTC) for launch of the Inspiration4 mission – the world’s first all-civilian human spaceflight to orbit – aboard SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft from historic Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Three days after liftoff, Dragon and the crew will return to Earth and splash down at one of several possible landing sites off the Florida coast.
