Astronauts launching to ISS in about 30 minutes!
I fucking love science

Watch live as three astronauts launch to the ISS.

Three new crew members will begin their journey to the International Space Station today. The launch is scheduled for 3.20pm EST (8.20pm GMT) and you can watch it live right here.

The three crew members are Peggy Whitson of NASA, Thomas Pesquet of ESA, and Oleg Novitskiy of Russian space agency Roscosmos.

They will blast off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan in a Soyuz MS-03 spacecraft. They’ll spend around two days chasing the ISS around the Earth, before docking on Saturday and beginning their mission.
