Crew Access Arm Retracts
The launch director just gave a "go" for the crew access arm to retract away from SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket.
A few minutes later, Dragon's launch escape system will be armed to allow the Crew-9 crew members to escape safely in the unlikely event of an anomaly from the moment the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifts off until the Dragon spacecraft reaches orbit.
Propellant loading is coming up next.
