Elon Musk’s SpaceX is set to launch the first all-European commercial crew to the International Space Station, a landmark mission for a region yearning for a better year of space exploration following a series of setbacks.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket is due to lift off at 4:49 p.m. local time on Thursday from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The launch was originally planned for Wednesday, but was delayed a day to give SpaceX more time to do analysis and checkouts on the rocket and capsule, according to the company.
