The Dragon spacecraft carried by a Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 3:27am from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, in front of about 10,000 people gathered to watch the launch. “We may have four crew members on board from four different nations … but we’re a united team with a common mission,” Moghbeli said after the separation. The launch was pushed back to Saturday to give engineers an extra day to review a component of the Crew Dragon capsule’s environmental control and life support system, NASA said in a blog post.
