Summary
Early Saturday morning, SpaceX successfully launched its new Crew Dragon capsule from Cape Canaveral, Florida — the start of a milestone test needed to certify the vehicle for carrying passengers. Additionally, a small, stuffed planet Earth was included inside the vehicle, a cute toy that indicated when the Crew Dragon had made it to microgravity by floating around in the capsule.When the Crew Dragon, with Ripley on board, meets up with the ISS early on Sunday, the capsule will maneuver itself toward the station and attempt to attach itself to an available port, known as the international docking adapter.
