Residents along Florida's local space coast are becoming accustomed to frequent rocket launches, with a major SpaceX crew mission scheduled for tonight. The launch, set for a little past 11 p.m. Eastern Time, will see eight astronauts heading to the International Space Station.
Weather forecasters have indicated a 40% chance of favorable conditions for the launch. Concerns extend beyond the launch site, with attention also focused on potential emergency landing scenarios in the Atlantic.
