On May 27th, 2020, history will be made as SpaceX launches Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley into space and delivers them to the ISS (International Space Station). This will not only be the first time humans have launched into space on American soil in 9 years, but it will also be the first time a privately owned company (SpaceX) will launch humans into space in history. To celebrate and provide info, me and @PegasusHT created a couple studios:

Crew Dragon Demo-2 studio~ https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/26758528/
#LaunchAmerica studio~ https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/26758370/

These studios should keep you updated on the info regarding May 27th's launch. If you can't find a piece of information in one studio's description, check the other, or @Illusion705 (me) or @PegasusHT. Enjoy the launch

Update: The launch for May 27th, 2020 has been canceled due to bad weather, but the backup date is Saturday, May 30th, 2020.

We are at T-8 hours, 36 minutes and counting! Hopefully, weather remains good for the launch. If not, the launch will have a backup window this weekend.

Woohoo! I'm so excited

In just under 3 hours, history will be made:

• The first commercial launch of astronauts
  
• The first SpaceX manned mission
  
• The first manned flight of Falcon 9 and Dragon

History has already been made with the first crew transportation to LC-39A using a Tesla Model X.
