Launch date/time has been revised by NASA to Friday morning at 5:49am eastern. Revised due to unfavorable weather conditions forecast for the original Thursday morning slot.

Notable things about this mission:

First time two Crew Dragons are docked to the ISS at the same time
First manned flight on a reused Falcon 9 booster
First manned flight in a reused Crew Dragon
Megan McArthur is married to Bob Behnken who commanded the first Crew Dragon mission; she sat in the same seat Bob did
