The Crew-1 mission is scheduled to launch today at 7:27 PM, EST.
(NOTE - I originally posted 6:27 EST, converting to Central where I am. Thanks for the correction Huxter).
Possibility of delay due to weather. CURRENT forecast is 16% chance of rain, 60% cloud cover. So it looks like weather probably will not be a problem (they don't worry about cloud cover %. Mostly about chance of lightning and rain).
It is the first operational launch of a NASA crew of four astronauts. Crew info: https://www.space.com/spacex-crew-1-astronauts
Can be seen on NASA TV , and SpaceX's webcast.
Webcast is LIVE now.
Also on Space.com (and others but i'm not going to look up others).

The booster will land on the landing barge "Of Course I Still Love You".
