An international crew of four representing four countries is in orbit following a successful launch to the International Space Station

Four astronauts arrived at their launch pad early Friday morning for a SpaceX flight to the International Space Station, the company’s third bon voyage for a NASA crew in under a year.

SpaceX on Wednesday bumped its next astronaut launch by a day because of dangerously high waves and wind offshore.

A billionaire’s private SpaceX flight filled its two remaining seats Tuesday with a scientist-teacher and a data engineer whose college friend actually won a spot but gave him the prize.
