The spacecraft that will carry the next crew of astronauts to the International Space Station has arrived at the launch pad at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The Crew Dragon Endurance spacecraft is scheduled to launch no earlier than March 12 and will shuttle the Crew-10 astronauts aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The arrival of the module at the Florida launch pad signifies progress for SpaceX, which experienced delays getting it ready for launch.

Crew-10 is currently set to launch at 7:48 p.m. EDT on March 12. It will chase the orbiting ISS for roughly 14 hours until it catches up and prepares to dock. Endurance is tentatively set to dock with the space station at approximately 10 a.m. on March 13.

No, but two Space-X rockets have blown up recently. I would think sabotage would be likely to put Musk in a bad light.

The Space X failures were test flights that are pretty much expected to fail.

The dragon crew stuff has been reliable for a few years now.
