Canadians, like countless others around the world, tuned in for the historic NASA and SpaceX launch Saturday.

Behold: Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley, veteran astronauts and best friends. They're the ones who are aboard Elon Musk's spaceship, currently on a 19-hour journey to the International Space Station.

During several broadcasts of the highly anticipated launch, the duo were casually and frequently referred to as "Bob and Doug."
