Bad weather postponed a SpaceX rocket launch, which was set to be the first time a private company sent humans into orbit – and the first time in nearly a decade that the United States launched astronauts into orbit from U.S. soil.
Veteran NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Doug Hurley were prepared to launch from Kennedy Space Center's pad 39A at 4:33 p.m. aboard the new Dragon capsule on top of a Falcon 9 rocket.
The planned backup dates for the mission known as Crew Dragon Demo-2 are Saturday at 3:22 p.m. EDT and Sunday at 3 p.m. EDT. The weather for both backup dates stands at 60% “go,” according to the Space Force’s latest forecast. |

SpaceX = someone to blame in case of failure. Let's hope it's not. I've been quite impressed with SpaceX so far. |

Hello, guys!
I just wanted to admit that now we have so much space companies that are trying so hard.
I would like people to also hotly discuss the success of small companies.
For example, small rockets are being developed to launch various attachments into orbit that will make life easier for both scientists and ordinary users.
We have space.com, skyrora.com, Blue Origin, One Space, Orbex, Interorbital Syatems, etc.
I think they all deserve a broad discussion. After all, all these studies allow us to subsequently improve all areas of our life. Studying new materials, improving technology, better knowledge of space - all this allows us to improve literally every part of our life. |
