The launch briefly turned night into day as the Falcon 9 rocket streaked over the Atlantic Ocean. It took nine minutes for the capsule to reach 17,500 mph and escape the Earth's gravity. Over the next 24 hours, the crew will chase the International Space Station with a scheduled docking at 1:17 a.m. ET Friday.
It's the fourth time this capsule, named Endeavor, has flown to space and the fourth time it will visit the space station. This is the seventh time SpaceX has launched NASA astronauts into orbit since 2020.
