Video: Trump call to station

Watch a replay of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket lifting off from Cape Canaveral’s Complex 40 launch pad Friday, as seen from the Kennedy Space Center press site five miles away.

Two NASA astronauts, a Japanese flier and a Russian cosmonaut plunged back to Earth Saturday, safely splashing down in the Pacific Ocean near San Diego to wrap up a five-month mission.

Mission managers Tuesday granted approval to proceed with Wednesday’s rollout of the Atlas 5 rocket and Thursday’s launch to deliver the commercial Cygnus cargo ship into orbit to resupply the International Space Station.
