Timeline: NASA astronauts schedule leading up to the launch

Looks like the second time was the charm.

On Saturday, SpaceX and NASA successfully launched astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken into space, making it the first manned mission from U.S. soil since 2011.

On Wednesday, bad weather caused the original launch date to be scrubbed with just 16 minutes to go on the countdown clock. 

Saturday's liftoff was a success, with the Crew Dragon spacecraft lifting off at 3:22 p.m.
