    Not available in my region.

    The company has partnered with Space Adventures for the all-tourist flight. Officials announced the first-of-its-kind mission Tuesday.

    Space Adventures has already helped put tourists into orbit, working with the Russian space program.

    For this trip, paying customers will skip the International Space Station and instead orbit two to three times higher, or roughly 500 to 750 miles above Earth

    CEO Elon Musk says SpaceX is churning out Starlink satellites faster than it can launch them, the best sign yet that the company is having some amazing success in what is already the most productive satellite factory in history.

    UPDATE: SpaceX has scrubbed Sunday's launch attempt due to technical issues. Engines briefly fired at 9:22 a.m., but the rocket aborted the liftoff procedure. A new launch date has not yet been announced.

    Searching for more info on abortion. (Too many false hits :)

    "SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will launch Crew Dragon, with NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley aboard the spacecraft, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA and SpaceX are currently targeting no earlier than mid-to-late May for launch," said NASA in a statement.

    I think they have been severely quarantined before launch. Too expensive to loft an astronaut with the sniffles. (But it has happened)

    SpaceX's most eye-catching project has taken a new step toward the future.

    On Thursday, CEO Elon Musk shared an image via Twitter of the company's under-construction Starship prototype. The model, dubbed "SN3," is the latest version of the rocket designed to send humans to Mars, set up a city, and travel out further to establish a multi-planetary species. All this is expected to be done using a stainless steel rocket that measures 393 feet including the Super Heavy booster.
