The weather forecast for Saturday’s launch attempt of SpaceX’s Demo-2 mission is not any better than it was yesterday, when pesky storms grounded the flight.

It’s been nearly nine years since astronauts blasted into space from American soil. Thanks to Mother Nature, it will be at least three more days.

Bad weather in the Atlantic has postponed the highly anticipated SpaceX launch from Cape Canaveral.

For the first time in nearly nine years, astronauts are getting ready to blast into space from Kennedy Space Center. Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will ride a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket into orbit in the first crewed test flight of the company’s Dragon capsule.

When the Apollo 11 crew blasted off from Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center nearly 51 years ago, their launch ended the race for the moon. And when astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley launch from the same pad Wednesday, they’ll be ending another space race.

The last time U.S. astronauts blasted off aboard an American rocket was July 8, 2011, in the space shuttle Atlantis.

President Donald Trump plans to be on the Florida coast Wednesday to watch the astronaut launch in Florida.

In ordinary times, the beaches and roads along Florida’s Space Coast would be packed with hundreds of thousands of spectators, eager to witness the first astronaut launch from Florida in nine years.

The military’s robotic mini shuttle is back in space after launching through the clouds at Cape Canaveral this morning.

For those who wonder what it's like to be an astronaut, they can now try and fly through space without leaving Earth.
