History will be made tonight as the first manned flight to the International Space Station by a private company will hurtle across our skies.

Run by Elon Musk's Space X, The Falcon 9 will be the first manned space flight to leave US soil in almost a decade.

This morning on Dermot and Dave, we spoke to two people who are very very excited about tonight. Dr Niamh Shaw spoke about how massive this moment is for space travel and space journalist Leo Enright gave us some top tips for spotting the shuttle this evening.
