Missouri astronaut Bob Behnken is scheduled to head to space Saturday. Behnken is aboard the first manned U.S. spaceflight in nearly a decade and the first space launch in history to involve a commercial aerospace company carrying humans into Earth’s orbit. Behnken, a Pattonville High and Washington University grad, is one of two astronauts on the launch to the International Space Station.
