SpaceX and NASA are at the cusp of achieving a historic milestone – the resumption of human spaceflights from the continental United States after the space shuttle program ended back in 2011. The Demo-2 test flight is all set to propel two NASA astronauts into space using the Crew Dragon vehicle manufactured and operated by SpaceX.

Update 2: Launch Postponed

The SpaceX launch director has decided to cancel Crew Dragon’s Demo-2 mission just 20 minutes before the scheduled departure due to adverse weather conditions.

Standing down from launch today due to unfavorable weather in the flight path. Our next launch opportunity is Saturday, May 30 at 3:22 p.m. EDT, or 19:22 UTC
