CAPE CANAVERAL - Elon Musk’s SpaceX is gearing up to destroy one of its own rockets on Saturday to test a crucial emergency abort system on an unmanned astronaut capsule, the company’s final milestone test before flying NASA astronauts from U.S. soil.
“I will tell you tomorrow will be an exciting day,” Kathy Lueders, NASA’s commercial crew program manager, told reporters on Friday. The Falcon 9 rocket’s boosters will shut down roughly 12 miles above the ocean, a mock failure that will trigger Crew Dragon’s so-called SuperDraco thrusters to jet itself away at supersonic speeds of up to 1,500 miles per hour .
