Wednesday was supposed to be a historic day as Elon Musk’s SpaceX was scheduled to launch two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station in a mission called Demo-2.
I said “supposed to” because this is the year 2020 after all and nothing continues to go our way as weather in Florida caused the launch at the Kennedy Space Center to be postponed just minutes before the launch was going to happen.
They will try to do it all over again on Saturday with a scheduled launch time of 3:22 p.m. ET.
This was a big bummer as we were all looking forward to seeing the first time that a commercial aerospace company sent astronauts to space. Now we must wait a few more days.
"We are not going to launch today."
Due to the weather conditions, the launch is scrubbing. Our next opportunity will be Saturday, May 30 at 3:22pm ET. Live #LaunchAmerica coverage will begin at 11am ET. pic.twitter.com/c7R1AmLLYh
