SpaceX astronaut flights to and from the International Space Station are becoming routine. But these missions are still high-stakes.
SpaceX is launching four astronauts into Earth’s orbit on Friday.

Friday’s mission, called Crew-2, is the second of six crewed space-station flights that the agency has contracted from SpaceX. NASA officials gave SpaceX the green light for launch on Tuesday after two in-depth reviews of the rocket, spaceship, and launch preparations.
