By Jessi Minneci

A Florida rocket launch this weekend could make space history.  

United Launch Alliance's Parker Solar Probe is set to blast off early Saturday morning from Cape Canaveral.  

A scientist involved with the project says this mission should get closer to the sun than any man-made object in history.  

The 65-minute launch window starts at 3:33 Eastern time, and conditions are 70-percent go.
