0:44Now PlayingSpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk met briefly with NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken shortly before they boarded the Falcon 9 Crew Dragon rocket from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
SpaceX will have a small window to launch the Falcon rocket at 4:33 p.m. EDT, using the same pad where men flew to the moon and the last space shuttle soared in 2011.
It is on the cusp of launching NASA astronauts into orbit, a first for a private company and a giant leap forward for the booming business of space travel.
The afternoon liftoff to the International Space Station will be the first of Americans from the U.S. in nearly a decade.
Veteran astronauts Doug Hurley and Ben Behnken will ride aboard the brand new crew capsule for the historic test flight.
The launch would put Elon Musk's SpaceX in the same league as only three countries — Russia, the U.S. and China, which sent astronauts into orbit in that order.
