NASA [cnet.com] and SpaceX [cnet.com] got together on Friday and scrutinized the Crew Dragon Demo-1 mission to determine if it's truly ready to launch to the International Space Station in March. So far, so good.
The result of the flight readiness reviews [nasa.gov] is that NASA is confirming the targeted launch time of 11:48 p.m. Pacific on Friday, Mar. 1 (2:48 a.m. Eastern on Saturday, Mar. 2) from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The capsule will ride to space on a Falcon 9 rocket.
Crew Dragon won't have any humans on board for this initial test flight, but it will carry supplies and equipment to the ISS.

nothing. It was here first.
