TL;DR

SpaceX is targeting a 10:53 p.m. liftoff for the Crew-8 mission, carrying three NASA astronauts and one Roscosmos cosmonaut to the International Space Station for a six-month stay. The launch was delayed due to a small crack on the side hatch seal, but mission control confirmed that the mission can proceed safely. This marks the 50th human spaceflight for SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft. The mission aims to conduct over 200 science and technology experiments on the ISS.
