Summary

SpaceXA new SpaceX crew capsule rocketed into orbit early Saturday on a test flight critical to restoring the nation’s ability to launch astronauts, after an eight-year pause.At 2:49 a.m., as crowds cheered at Kennedy Space Center, a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the Crew Dragon capsule thundered from the same pad as the final space shuttle mission in 2011, and Saturn V moon rockets decades earlier.Eleven minutes after liftoff, the capsule carrying a test dummy named Ripley — after the “Alien” movies’ heroine — separated from the rocket bound for the International Space Station.
