SpaceX is targeting Friday, April 8 for Falcon 9’s launch of Axiom Space’s Ax-1 mission to the International Space Station from historic Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The instantaneous launch window opens at 11:17 a.m. ET, 15:17 UTC, with a backup opportunity available on Saturday, April 9 at 10:54 a.m. ET, 14:54 UTC.

This will be the fifth flight for this Falcon 9 first stage booster, which previously supported launch of GPS III Space Vehicle 04, GPS III Space Vehicle 05, Inspiration4, and one Starlink mission. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will land on the A Shortfall of Gravitas droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. The Dragon spacecraft supporting this mission previously flew the Demo-2 and Crew-2 missions.

Axiom Space’s Ax-1 mission is the first all-private human spaceflight mission to the International Space Station. The Ax-1 crew will participate in educational outreach and conduct innovative research experiments while on the orbiting laboratory.

The webcast for the Ax-1 mission will go live approximately three hours before liftoff and will remain live until about 15 minutes post launch. Mission coverage will resume approximately two hours prior to docking.

I like to watch the replays of both, but I prefer the live of SpaceX, with less commentary and more focused on the visual.

This is how they say fuck you to Russia space program.

I'm surprised they didn't put another diversity hire as well.

All of them look like fucking dinosaurs. But at least there aren't any niggers.

There, something on topic with SpaceX.

NASA is so innovative they have to use SpaceX to send Astronauts to ISS. ;)

Yes bro.

SpaceX was NASA's idea.

They were the ones who proposed they would spend billions as long as a private company came along to make a "taxi cab" to the space station.

They ditched the Costly and old space shuttle for a smaller, simpler and cheaper lifter.

And thats the Falcon 9.

But don't be fooled... if the Hubble needs repairs, Falcon 9 can't do it.

So everything is about trade offs.

FYI Don't be too thrilled, Starship isn't over at all, SpaceX decided to STOP expanding Starbase to focus on CAPE in Florida. ;)

They should have done that to begin with.

They got two pads currently on lease. One of them the former Shuttle pad.

They should focus on those.

The entire concept of "Starbase" a private rocket city is way too Walt Disney.
