【Neglected wife movie - Jumpin at the Bedside (1976)】

For the first time in nearly a decade,Neglected wife movie - Jumpin at the Bedside (1976) NASA launched astronauts into space from U.S. territory. And for the first time ever, it was on a spacecraft built by a private company, Elon Musk's SpaceX.

The company's reusable Falcon 9 rocket took off from Florida's Kennedy Space Center on Saturday after the first attempt was aborted Wednesday. The Crew Dragon spacecraft carries two NASA astronauts, Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley, who are expected to reach the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday.

Ever since NASA's Space Shuttle program ended in 2011, the U.S. has used Russia's Soyuz rockets to take astronauts into space. Sadly, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were no big crowds to watch the launch, both on Wednesday and Saturday.

Wednesday's launch was only 16 minutes from takeoff, but unfavorable weather conditions kept the rocket and spacecraft from blasting the two astronauts to the ISS. Rocket fuel had been loaded and the astronauts were settled in the hatch with their SpaceX spacesuits.

The weather cooperated for Saturday's launch, despite NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine noting earlier in the day that there remained a "50% chance of cancellation" due to weather.

From here, the mission will see NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley head to the International Space Station – a 19-hour journey.
