Take a look inside Crew Dragon, SpaceX’s first human spacecraft, ahead of its historic launch
SpaceX is in the process of preparing for its historic first astronaut launch, with a mission to demonstration its human spaceflight capabilities by flying NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken to the International Space Station.

Crew Dragon is based on the design of SpaceX’s original Dragon cargo capsule, which is currently in service providing operational resupply services to the Space Station . SpaceX’s design team was focused entirely on converting it for human use and comfort, with an emphasis on ensuring it felt like a genuine, 21st-century modern vehicle, with excellent usability and user experience, from its touchscreen control system to its custom-molded seating.
Check out the launch livestream here, as the astronauts and crew continue to ready for launch.
