Jan 7, 2019 - First test launch of SpaceX manned capsule.
2018-11-22
This is an unmanned test fight to the ISS space station.
The first human capable US launcher to fly since the space shuttle.




A SpaceX/NASA render here. (Note the crew access "arm":


SpaceX In-Flight Abort Test: Between Demo-1 and Demo-2
SpaceX Demo-2: June 2019 (manned)

And Boeing:

Boeing Orbital Flight Test: March 2019
Boeing Pad Abort Test: Between OFT and CFT
Boeing Crew Flight Test: August 2019

The In-Flight Abort tests are between unmanned and manned flight as NASA has given both SpaceX and Boeing the option of using their first demo capsule (not the lost part that isn't recovered) as the abort demo craft.
