Nine years ago, NASA retired the Space Shuttle fleet. Since then, we've paid Russia to transport our astronauts to the International Space Station. Today, NASA and SpaceX are launching the first manned mission from the Kennedy Space Center since the Shuttle was decommissioned. Watch it live with this link. (It's scheduled to launch at 4:33PM EDT.)

BTW, the astronauts on this flight are named Bob and Doug, and soon, they'll Take Off. ? (80s pop culture reference.)
