NASA astronauts will launch into space from U.S. soil in May for the first time since the space shuttle program was retired in 2011.
The space agency announced Thursday that the date for the launch is set for May 27 in Florida. It will also mark the first time that a rocket used in a launch will be made by SpaceX, a private space company founded by Elon Musk.
