Earlier today, the launch of astronauts from U.S. soil for the first time in almost 9 years was thwarted just 17 minutes before lift-off when inclement weather prevented the Falcon 9 rocket's second stage from being fully-fueled at Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex (LC)-39A. Demo-2 crew members Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken waited a little over an hour after the countdown was halted to safely exit their Crew Dragon capsule at LC-39A, leave the pad, and head back to quarantine at the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building a few miles away, and await the next launch attempt this weekend.

The next opportunity for the Falcon 9 rocket to embark on the Demo-2 flight to the International Space Station will be this Saturday, May 30, at 3:22 PM, Eastern Daylight Time (12:22 PM, Pacific Daylight Time)—with back-up launch opportunities on May 31 and June 1, respectively. There is a 40% chance of bad weather postponing lift-off on Saturday. Stay tuned!
