SpaceX’s debut astronaut launch is the biggest, most visible opening shot yet in NASA’s grand plan for commercializing Earth’s backyard. Amateur astronauts, private space stations, flying factories, out-of-this-world movie sets — this is the future the space agency is striving to shape as it eases out of low-Earth orbit and aims for the moon and Mars. It doesn’t quite...

Four days after ending a nearly decade-long drought in spaceflight originating from American soil, Hawthorne-based SpaceX launched another rocket from Cape Canaveral Wednesday, this time carrying a series of broadband internet satellites. The Falcon 9 lifted off on schedule at 6:20 p.m. California time. The rocket was carrying another batch of 60 Starlink satellites, adding to a growing array that…

President Donald Trump is making claims on space that are off course from reality.

There are few people who can describe the emotions felt by NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley as they embarked on their mission to the International Space Station. NASA astronaut Anne McClain just happens to be one of them.

SpaceX has delivered two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station

For the first time in nearly a decade, the United States launched astronauts into orbit from U.S. soil. Sunday, the SpaceX Dragon Endeavor docked with the International Space Station.

A rocket ship designed and built by Elon Musk’s SpaceX company has lifted off with two Americans on a history-making flight to the International Space Station

SpaceX is taking a second shot at launching astronauts, but rain and storm clouds are threatening more delays

It would have been a historic moment in space history, but the NASA/SpaceX launch was scrubbed because of the weather. Kim Baldonado reports for the NBC4 News at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27, 2020.

The launch of a SpaceX rocket ship with two NASA astronauts on a history-making flight into orbit was called off with less than 17 minutes to go in the countdown Wednesday because of thunderclouds and the danger of lightning. Liftoff was rescheduled for Saturday afternoon.

SpaceX is slated to be the first private company to launch a manned space flight on May 27. The company, founded by Tesla founder Elon Musk, will carry two American astronauts to the International Space Station from the Kennedy Space Center.

Stormy weather is threatening to delay SpaceX’s first astronaut launch

It’s back to the future as NASA astronauts launch again from the U.S. — aboard a retro-style “Right Stuff” capsule. Make no mistake: This is not your father’s — or grandfather’s — capsule. Southern California-based SpaceX’s Dragon crew capsule outshines NASA’s old Apollo spacecraft in virtually every way. The Dragon’s clean lines and minimalist interior, with touchscreens instead of...

SpaceX’s wild ride to the first commercial space taxi launch started with a dream of Mars and lots of failures. In late May, the California company will try to send two astronauts to the International Space Station for NASA.

The two astronauts who will end a nine-year launch drought for NASA are now at Kennedy Space Center, exactly one week before their historic SpaceX flight

Southern California-based SpaceX has launched 60 more of its internet satellites into orbit, despite an engine failure shortly after liftoff.  Wednesday’s Cape Canaveral flight featured a Falcon rocket flying for a record fifth time. SpaceX chief executive Elon Musk said one of the nine main engines shut down prematurely during liftoff, but the satellites still made it to the...
