CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A launch pad problem prompted SpaceX to delay a flight to the International Space Station on Wednesday to replace NASA’s two stuck astronauts.
The new crew needs to get to the International Space Station before Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams can head home after nine months in orbit.
Concerns over a critical hydraulic system arose less than four hours before the Falcon rocket’s planned evening liftoff from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. As the countdown clocks ticked down, engineers evaluated the hydraulics used to release one of the two arms clamping the rocket to its support structure. This structure needs to tilt back right before liftoff.
Where’s all the hate like NASA got when they exercised caution and couldn’t retrieve the astronauts?
I thought it was delayed for political reasons by Biden? Is he somehow still in power 2 months into the Trump presidency? I’m starting to think this Musk guy might not always be truthful when he says things.
I’m super pissed off, my car stopped working today. The little fuel indicator said E. Thanks a lot Biden. Then while walking to the gas station it started raining. Seriously f that guy.
