SpaceX launches first full NASA crew to the International Space Station

After six years, two successful test flights and a multibillion-dollar investment in American enterprise, NASA launched four astronauts to the International Space Station on Sunday, the first government-certified flight of a commercially developed SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.

When I was a child, any launch of an Apollo was such a HUGE deal!! Our teachers would bring TV's into our classrooms to enable us all to be a part of the launch! Today however, people don't get what an achievement this is. We celebrated the astronauts ... now it's (sadly) just another day. I still find these types of events to be amazing!!

Was lucky enough to see one in. Florida. I was several miles away,
By I could feel the ground shaking, sound was very loud.

The suits and that cabin look like they were made for a 70's sci-fi movie. heh

Wow those astronauts are so brave. Man I could not imagine being strapped to that powerful rocket like that. I bet there is no greater rush on earth.

[tommyrosati]

Damn, that ship went higher than my dad's blood pressure after seeing my grades.

This made me proud to be a human being.

[richardsledgecock]

That's a smooth running rocket engine. Wisdom vision long division.

When people start flying through space as easily we fly through our own skies people will look back on these days. God bless all the brave men and women who pushed the limits of human exploration. Never stop dreaming

[randysherrill]

Awesome nighttime launch. Godspeed to those brave adventurers.

Remember when SpaceX had it's early failures and detractors said they'd never get off the ground? Remember when the first few returning booster stages crashed and detractors said landing a booster stage is impossible? Thanks SpaceX, for showing what dreams and the determination to see them through can accomplish.

Thank you SpaceX and all those involved. Wish the best to the crew. Yes, this should be the #1 news when ever these missions launch. This is a milestone for "All" of us.

These touchscreens definitely did their job right.They have a giant advantage over just buttons and knobs making every process streamlined, seamless, efficient with up to date data and info right infront of them as well as control over it. And not to mention how cool it is to see it this way. Go SpaceX and surprise us more. 👍👍❤️👍🔥
