SpaceX Demo-2: First launch of NASA astronauts on Crew Dragon

SpaceX and NASA are set to launch the first astronauts into orbit from U.S. soil since the Space Shuttle program ended in 2011. Crew members Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley will be heading to the International Space Station in a Crew Dragon spacecraft atop a Falcon 9 rocket. Liftoff is scheduled for 3:22 PM Eastern (19:22 UTC) on Saturday, May 30 from LC-39A, in Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

I love the high tech look of the dragon with the map view - it's so futuristic!
It's like how you can see your flight when you're on a plane. It there was ever a modern spacecraft, it's this one.

I know it's very bad to consider spaceflight routine, but this just feels so well done. It just feels like they've done this - stupid me just realized they sort of have 😄
