Two NASA astronauts will take a leap into space today from a SpaceX spacecraft.  For the first time in history, astronauts will be sent into space by a private company.  Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are the two astronauts involved in the mission.  A live stream has been launched and the journey to the Kennedy Space Center is being made in a Tesla Model X.  There are 12 minutes left to launch this article.

UPDATE 31-05-2020: The launch has been a success and both astronauts are now heading towards the space station.

In a few more hours, the astronauts will arrive near the space station and their spacecraft will be connected to the space station and they will enter it.

SpaceX is founded by Elon Muskney.  The human space mission will be completed in almost nine years and this event will definitely be historic.  The mission is called Demo 2 and two astronauts will take a leap into space with the Crew Dragon spacecraft from SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket!  Traveling through space, they will reach the International Space Station where there is already one astronaut already and now a total of three astronauts will be watching the Earth through the space station!
