KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. – After the first try was scrubbed due to weather, SpaceX could again attempt to launch two NASA astronauts on its Crew Dragon spacecraft this weekend, however, NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said the final decision will come Saturday morning, hours before liftoff, after another hard look at the weather.
On Wednesday, NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken made it all the way to 17 minutes before liftoff from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A before the launch was scrubbed.
The delay came after a stormy day on the Space Coast, which included a tornado warning, lightning and heavy rain. SpaceX and NASA teams conducted a flight readiness review Friday ahead of a second attempt.
