NASA said Friday it had set a May 27 launch date for SpaceX's crewed test flight of its Crew Dragon spacecraft. The mission, called Demo-2, will send NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space Station for what NASA describes as an "extended" stay, the length of which has not been disclosed. The mission will be the first orbital launch of astronauts from the US since the final flight of the space shuttle in 2011.
