SpaceX's Crew Dragon makes its debut test flight atop a Falcon 9 rocket during this morning's 2:49am EST launch window. The capsule, designed to carry astronauts, begins it's unmanned journey towards the International Space Station with a load of supplies and a spacesuit-dressed dummy named 'Ripley.' The demonstration flight acts to test and rehearse all systems and procedures before carrying out the operation with humans onboard.
