SpaceX tested

Americans have not gone into space on an American space craft since 2011. But SpaceX is on track to take astronauts into space this year, probably the second quarter of 2020.

Working together, SpaceX passes tests that NASA requires before astronauts will be entrusted to them - and a big milestone was reached yesterday. Called the "abort test," it demonstrated that Dragon could separate from the Falcon 9 rocket in-flight in case of emergency. 

NASA called it a "flawless execution."
