The astronauts' ride to the pad is a customized Tesla Model X outfitted with cooling air for their pressure suits. Their vehicle, which bears the license plate "ISSBND" ("ISS Bound"), is traveling as part of a convoy including support team members and security personnel. The countdown continues for today's (May 30) scheduled 3:22 p.m. EDT (1922 GMT) launch. Weather is a concern with the chances of favorable conditions at launch time being 50 percent.
