Default Manned Spaceflight From US Soil: May, 2020

The latest on the return to spaceflight from US soil is currently scheduled for May 27th from KSC, Pad 39A, aboard the Crew Dragon capsule powered by the Falcon 9 booster. Crew of two, both males (REALLY hard to believe NASA has not required at least a 50-50 gender blend on the crew, if not ALL female, such as seems to be one of their over-riding aims these days on being PC-everything, but I digress).

Here is a link to the NASA web article. One could suspect the current national challenges could affect the final launch date. Link: https://www.nasa.gov/specials/dm2/

In any event, it will be very good to break the practically nine year hiatus of manned launches from US soil (dating back to the last shuttle flight in July, 2011).
