A Missouri native is set to be on the second crewed SpaceX flight.

Mike Hopkins will lift off from Florida on Saturday, weather permitting. The NASA astronaut was born in Lebanon, Missouri, and grew up on a farm outside Richland. He graduated from Osage High School in 1987.


St. Louis area native Bob Behnken was on the first SpaceX flight in May.
