Space is hard. You've probably heard this before.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
And it rings true today. Earlier this afternoon, weather scrubbed our SpaceX launch to the iss. astro.doug and astronaut #BobBehnken were strapped into their Crew Dragon spacecraft when ground teams called off the 4:33pm ET launch due to inclement weather brought on by Tropical Storm Bertha off the southeastern U.S. coast. The Falcon 9 rocket is healthy, but we want to get it right. Safety is paramount.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Join us for our next launch attempt on Saturday, May 30, at 3:22pm ET (7:22pm UTC). Our live coverage starts at 11am ET (3pm UTC) on nasa.gov. As part of our Commercial Crew Program, the liftoff will mark the first time in nearly a decade that nasaastronauts launch on a brand new spacecraft from U.S. soil. We're ready.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Let's light this candle. 🚀⁣⁣⁣
