If everything goes according to plan, humans will be launched into space for the first time on a SpaceX rocket using a SpaceX capsule on May 27, 2020. Launch info and stream should be able to be found here: https://www.spacex.com/launches/I wish them good luck, and safe flying!

I will be there to see it.
History baby. Yeah.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Not looking hopeful for Weds. Tropical Depression off the Atlantic coast could complicate things

On my way now. They are saying better than a 60% chance of launch. Skies are not looking good; hopefully better at the Cape.

What's a little weather when the rocket flies so fast it will go through the weather clouds faster than Superman not long enough to be in them clouds to be affected. It's not the clouds per say, it is the rain and hail contained within the clouds that could do damage to the craft flying at the speeds it does.

From SpaceX Twitter: "Standing down from launch today due to unfavorable weather in the flight path"
I'm reading that as bad weather downrange so it was probably in case of an inflight abort. You don't want to come down in a thunderstorm / high seas if you have an inflight abort a few hundred miles downrange.
