Looking forward to attending the viewing of @NASA’s @SpaceX Crew-1 Mission Launch tomorrow [November 15th] with @SecondLady!
All systems are go for tonight’s launch at 7:27 p.m. EST of Crew Dragon’s first operational mission with four astronauts on board. Teams are keeping an eye on weather conditions for liftoff, which are currently 50% favorable → spacex.com/launches
