NASA astronaut Douglas Hurley exits the Gulfstream jet that carried him from Houston, Texas, to the Launch and Landing Facility runway at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 20, 2020, ahead of the agency’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission. Under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, Hurley and crewmate Robert Behnken will be the first astronauts to launch to the International Space Station from U.S. soil since the end of the Space Shuttle Program in 2011. Liftoff of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft is scheduled for 4:33 p.m. on May 27 from Kennedy’s Launch Complex 39A.
