Excitement, exhilaration, and a bit of nervousness were the emotions felt by most on Saturday, May 30 as they witnessed the successful launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon Spacecraft, with Owego Free Academy graduate and Apalachin, New Yorkâs own Doug Hurley onboard.
The launch, initially scheduled for May 27, 2020, was scrubbed due to unfavorable weather conditions around Launch Complex 39A, according to NASA.
The launch on Saturday, May 30, resulted in a liftoff of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft. And according to NASA, Behnken and Hurley are the first astronauts to launch from U.S. soil since the end of the Space Shuttle Program in 2011.

James Loney
Loney didn’t do anything spectacular during his three years with the Rays, but he was a solid first baseman and helped the club reach the postseason in 2013.

Chris Archer
He’s one of the best pitchers in franchise history, and he served as the face of the franchise through some of its harder struggles in the mid-2010s.

Carlos Peña
Jake Odorizzi, Julio Lugo and Greg Vaughn also wore Michael Jordan’s No. 23, but Peña’s 46 home runs in 2007 make him the best No. 23.
