A rocket has blasted off carrying British astronaut Major Tim Peake to the International Space Station (ISS).
He took off in the Soyuz FG rocket at 11.03am UK time from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.
It followed an emotional farewell with his family and friends, in which his young son cried loudly, saying: "I want to go with daddy."
The 43-year-old will spend six months on the ISS and told a news conference on Monday he is most looking forward to looking at Earth from space.
The launch was watched by Major Peake's young children and his wife Rebecca.

Wow and wow again. I was applauding him. Very well done and I must say he looked really happy too.

And once they're settled into the Space Station, they'll be able to watch the new Star Wars epic from space - which is truly wonderful!
