NASA reveals SpaceX crew rocket set for January test flight

NASA on Wednesday announced SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft’s first uncrewed test flight is set for January 7, 2019. It would lift off on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from the same launch pad at Kennedy Space Center that sent Apollo 11’s three-man crew to the Moon in 1969. SpaceX plans to launch astronauts to the International Space Station by June 2019.
