Watch: NASA and SpaceX lift – BBC News

Two NASA astronauts have entered the orbit of the rocket and capsule system provided by Elon Musk’s SpaceX company.

Dragon capsules Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken left Earth on their Falcon-9 rocket at the point where the first attempt had to be canceled three days earlier by the weather.

They will depart for the International Space Station, which will last 19 hours. The mission is the first crew to emerge from American soil in nine years.
