CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.

- SpaceX, billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk's private rocket company, was forced by foul weather to scrub a planned launch on Wednesday of two Americans into orbit from Florida, a mission that would mark the first spaceflight of NASA astronauts from U.S. soil in nine years.

The next launch window is set for Saturday afternoon, when SpaceX will make a second attempt to send the astronauts into orbit. By then, Hurley, 53, and Behnken, 49, were already strapped into their Crew Dragon seats, after having made their way up a 265-foot-tall tower to the access bridge that leads to the capsule atop the Falcon 9 rocket.
