SpaceX launches rocket with crew to rescue stranded ISS astronauts: Watch

A SpaceX crew was launching to space Friday evening after originally planning to launch earlier this week, to rescue two astronauts stranded on the International Space Station.

The launch has faced multiple delays due to technical issues and weather conditions. The mission aims to transport four new crew members to the ISS and help rescue NASA astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry "Butch" Wilmore, who have been stranded aboard since June due to problems with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft.
