If you have the energy, there's a good reason to: The launch window for SpaceX's Demo-1 is 11:49...Pacific.
I don't think I'm going to make it to 2:49am myself, but Demo-1 will be the first full test of the human-rated Dragon capsule, going all the way to the ISS and back. The capsule will contain some materials, experiments, and a special dummy with sensors designed to take the place of an astronaut.
If successful, it will provide another way to get there other than the aging Russian Soyuz capsules.
