'historic' NASA-X Crew Dragon capsule blasted off from Kennedy Center's historic Launch P 39A on May 30 at 3:22pm EDT to International Station from American turf for first time in nine years. Even though unfavourable wear conditions and fear of thunderstorms caused some delay on May 27 in ‘#LaunchAmerica’ program, both NASA and X me a significant leap three days later towards ‘revolutionization’ of commercial travel. veterans Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken rode off capsule on top of a Falcon 9 rocket from launch p which was used by Apollo Moon missions nearly half a century ago.

70-30 launch

NASA was previously looking at a 50 per cent chance of wear being in a favourable condition on May 30 for rescheduled NASA-X Crew Dragon launch. However, as per latest wear update, re is 70 per cent chance of good wear and Crew Dragon mission is currently "go for launch". After millions were disappointed with poor atmospheric conditions forcing historic ‘Launch America’ mission to be aborted on May 27, chances of launch being successful on Saturday h remained equally grim until latest wear clearance.

NASA ministrator Jim Bridenstine has said that wear conditions are expected to remain same for next couple of days as well. refore, currently, mission was on go with a constant tap on atmosphere. Last time, mission was cancelled just over 17 minutes before countdown was set to begin, but mission crew has said that enthusiasm has t been diminished with scrub. 

X is first private company to be a part of program, its CEO Elon Musk h hailed accomplishment as a “dream come true”. two US astronauts were seen smiling, waving and giving thumbs up as y debuted in X suit yet again after mission was scrubbed last time and got reied to board commercially built rocket and craft. Musk also ted that mission is t only momentous for him, but also for ‘everyone' at X.

‘Herculean task’

Moreover, NASA ministrator Jim Bridenstine h lauded entire launch as a “herculean task” and called it a “monumental achievement” ting that enthusiasm of entire launch was t diminished. He also said that astronauts have been "rey to go for a long time". It has been revealed that designing of X Dragon capsule was started from scratch at least 12 years ago to travel to Station. Bridenstine said that NASA let “commercial industry invate” and that led to solutions that were ‘undreamed of before’. According to NASA ministrator, that aspect remains ‘real success’ of #LaunchAmerica.
