NASA and SpaceX cancel rocket launch

Thursday, 28 May 2020

NASA and SpaceX planned to launch astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley to the International Space Station, but it was cancelled last minute due to poor weather conditions.

They plan to attempt the launch again on Saturday.

This mission marks the first time since the retirement of the space shuttle in 2011 that humans will fly to the space station from US soil.
