For the first time since 2011, a capsule was launched from the soil of America, when a SpaceX rocket with an unmanned crew capsule blasted off on Saturday for the International Space Station. This is seen as a major milestone for Elon Musk and NASA to resume human spaceflight from the U.S. soil. It was a 16-foot-tall Crew Dragon capsule, atop a Falcon 9 rocket and carried a test dummy named Ripley.
