Apollo missions to the Moon and space shuttle launches to Earth orbit departed from LC-39A. Today, NASA leases it to SpaceX. This is not the first SpaceX launch from this pad, but it is the first associated with sending people into orbit. This Demo-1 test flight carries only an Anthropomorphic Test Device (ATD) named Ripley, after Sigourney Weaver’s character in Alien, but the next one will have two astronauts aboard.
