SpaceX’s first astronaut mission could take off in May
SpaceX is getting very close to its goal of flying actual astronauts aboard its Crew Dragon spacecraft. After a successful in-flight abort (IFA) test in January, it had basically crossed off all the major milestones needed before flying people, first on a demonstration mission referred to as “Demo-2” by SpaceX and its commercial crew partner NASA.
We now know the working date that SpaceX is aiming for with that crucial mission: May 7. To be clear, that’s very much a working date and the actual mission could slip either later, or even earlier, according to Ars Technica’s Eric Berger who first reported the timeline.
It will be exciting when the United States regains the capability to send humans to orbit and to the ISS.

Unlikely. I don't think Trump is physically fit for a launch into space.

I just realized.
Launching Trump into space is the justification for continued development of SLS.

He said PORNO not POTUS. There's a fine line between the two. One heads your screwing, the other is screwing your head.

Just his hair. It probably came from there in the first place.

Yes. But the user requirements ("Trump: physically fit for a launch into space") don't constrain that much the solution, there's enough room for optimization.
For instance, shaping him in a spherical form and freezing him solid just before will guarantee fitness for launch and the only collateral damage will be felt in the Twitter traffic (a thing the user didn't consider important enough to explicitly list it as a requirement).
