The countdown began this morning for the launch of Elon Musk’s SpaceX Dragon Demo-2, a mission that will send NASA astronauts into space from U.S. soil for the first time in nearly a decade.

The backup launch was pushed to Saturday after it was scrubbed on Wednesday due to bad weather.

American astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 to fly to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard a Crew Dragon capsule. The last such launch came in July 2011 and became the final mission of NASA’s space shuttle program.

President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence watched the NASA/SpaceX launch from the Kennedy Center on Saturday.
