The SpaceX launch was set to be the first manned spaceflight from U.S. soil in nearly a decade.
NASA delays
launch of SpaceX crewed mission
NASA’S
SpaceX- crewed mission to the International Space Station was aborted today due
to bad weather.
It was
aborted 20 minutes before launch at Kennedy Space Centre in Florida.
Another
attempt will be made to re-launch it on Saturday 30 May.
But bad
weather was long predicted as a possible impediment to the launch.
“Unfortunately,
we are not going to launch today,” SpaceX launch director Mike Taylor told NASA
astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley.
The U.S. has
been sending astronauts to the ISS, in collaboration with the Russians for the
past 10 years.
Commenters on
social media however blamed President Donald Trump for “jinxing” the launch
with their unnecessary visit to the Space Center.
