Description: SpaceX's first private flight has blasted off with two contest winners, a health care worker, and their billionaire sponsor. It was the first time a rocket streaked toward orbit with an all-amateur crew, with no professional astronauts on board. SpaceX's recycled rocket soared Wednesday night from the same Kennedy Space Center pad used by the company's three previous astronaut flights for NASA.
