Space X launch scrubbed, flight aims to test safety procedures

Space X is gearing up for a crucial test that could help send astronauts to space from U.S. soil for the first time in nearly a decade. The unmanned Dragon capsule will intentionally break off from the Falcon 9 rocket minutes after liftoff Sunday. The unmanned in-flight abort test aims to prove Space X can return astronauts to safety in the event of an emergency. Mark Strassman reports from Kennedy Space Center in Florida, where Saturday's launch was postponed due to weather.

Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs. The broadcast has earned a prestigious Peabody Award, a Polk Award, four News & Documentary Emmys, three Daytime Emmys and the 2017 Edward R. Murrow Award for Best Newscast. The broadcast was also honored with an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia Award as part of CBS News division-wide coverage of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

Horrible YouTube headline. So misleading even though I already knew what SpaceX had already done because I had watched the live stream on SpaceX YouTube channel. Abort test was a success. Good job SpaceX team. Elon your the man of the hour. 💪🏻😎💪🏻

Did this anchor really ask if the mission before Neil Armstrong was “Jimmy 8”? Jesus Christ lady, I bet you wouldn’t have trouble remembering something if it involved the Kardashians

Put Boeing in charge for a real stress test

[rawbacon]

Musk comes off as the typical conman always ready with the quippy excuses for his failures.

[arieltccc]

Why postponed if you plan for problems this is the good timing to test.

We are meant to rot in this cesspool of an earth as cthulhu intended

It's been quite windy in Florida this winter.

Launch was a success today! TY Elon. Proof that LOVE never fails 🐲💌🐉🗽

[alexmaccity]

I wish we werent spending trillions of dollars on perpetual war. I wish we had the resources to send flat earthers to space to prove to them that theyre ignorant.

it is distracting, they should not have the women narrating this were tight clothes because they are representing a national news station.
