CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA and SpaceX are now aiming for a March debut of the first capsule from a private company designed to fly astronauts to the International Space Station.

No one will be on board for the crew Dragon’s inaugural test flight to the orbiting outpost.
===============================================================
'Officials on Wednesday set March 2 as the latest launch date. If the demo goes well, two NASA astronauts will take a test flight in July aboard the SpaceX capsule.'

This will be the first U,.S.-based astronaut to go into orbit since the Space Shuttle program ended in 2011.
