    From Internetado@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 24 11:15:09 2020
    Nasa astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken have completed their dress rehearsal for Wednesday's flight to the International Space Station.

    The mission, the first crewed outing from American soil in nine years,
    will see the pair ride to orbit in a SpaceX Falcon rocket and Crew
    Dragon capsule.

    It's a demonstration of the new "taxi" service the US space agency will
    be buying from the Californian firm.

    Lift-off on Wednesday is timed for 16:33 EDT (20:33 GMT / 21:33 BST).
