SpaceX has launched four astronauts to the International Space Station for NASA. The launch included Russians and Americans, as well as an astronaut from an Arab nation, who will be there for several months.
The Falcon rocket took off from Kennedy Space Center on its six-month mission shortly after midnight on Mar. 2. The launch was observed by close to 80 spectators from the United Arab Emirates. Astronaut Sultan al-Neyadi is only the second Emirati to fly to space.
