The eyes of America are focused on Cape Canaveral, Florida as SpaceX and NASA go for their second attempt at returning to manned space flight from United States soil. On Wednesday the launch had to be scrubbed due to weather conditions that would have endangered the lives of the two heroic men aboard the Dragon crew capsule. As long as everything remains a go then both Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley will be the first astronauts to launch from American soil since the last shuttle launch in 2011.

 The current mission is considered a demo flight. Later missions will carry 4 to the ISS (International Space Station). Each mission will also include supplies to restock the ISS.

Today, NASA and SpaceX will make history as they make the first manned space launch in 9 years. In future missions there will be 4 astronauts but for this launch astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken will be the 2 brave men rocketing toward the ISS (International Space Station).  The Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon crew capsule will take off from the historic pad 39A at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
