"SpaceX's Epic Rocket Escape Slide Successfully Tested"

SpaceX has tested emergency chutes at the Kennedy Space Center, which could save astronauts in case of a launch emergency. The company is working on opening a second launch pad to increase flexibility for upcoming crew missions. The tests involved deploying new emergency chutes along wires, allowing astronauts to escape before liftoff in case of a serious anomaly. Before crewed missions, SpaceX will conduct an uncrewed flight from the pad, which will be the company's 30th cargo mission to the ISS.
