SpaceX’s moment of triumph arrives as astronauts ready for US launch

A Nasa handout photo shows a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the Crew Dragon spacecraft onboard on the launch pad at Launch Complex 39A during a brief static fire test ahead of the US space agency’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission, at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida, USA, on May 22, 2020. – EPA /Nasa/Joel Kowsky pic, May 27, 2020.
