CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) " SpaceX takes another shot Monday at launching a critical space station docking port for astronauts. NASA needs this new docking setup at the International Space Station before Americans can fly there in crew capsules set to debut next year. Following liftoff, the first-stage booster will attempt to fly back to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. SpaceX's unmanned Falcon rocket is scheduled to blast off at 12:45 a.m. Monday from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The 5,000 pounds of station supplies also include a DNA decoder, or sequencer, for new space genetic research.
