SpaceX's historic first crewed launch was set to proceed as scheduled Wednesday, NASA announced at midday, but some uncertainty remained over weather conditions just over four hours before takeoff.

A decade on it is another president, Donald Trump, who will attend Wednesday's launch in Florida.

If NASA can entrust"low Earth orbit" space travel to the private sector, it would free up dollars for its more distant missions. It looks entirely different than the huge winged space shuttles that carried astronauts into space from US soil from 1981 to 2011. Unlike the shuttles, one of which -- the Challenger -- exploded in 1986 after launch, Dragon can eject in an emergency if the Falcon 9 rocket has a problem boosting it into space.
