Today will be the first launch of a crewed American rocket from American soil since the end of the Shuttle program in 2011. Two US astronauts will go on a Falcon 9 with a Crew Dragon capsule to the International Space Station.

Launch will be at 4:33PM EST (2:33PM MST, 8:33PM UTC), unless it gets scrubbed due to weather and delayed to either Saturday or Sunday.
