SpaceX launch to ISS on schedule though weather uncertain

"We are moving forward with launch today," NASA chief Jim Bridenstine said in a tweet."Weather challenges remain with a 50 percent chance of cancellation."

The next window, which is determined by the relative position of the launch site to the space station, is Sunday at 3:00 pm , and fair weather is predicted. NASA astronauts Robert Behnken, 49, and Douglas Hurley, 53, former military test pilots who joined the US space agency in 2000, are to blast off for the ISS from historic Launch Pad 39A on a two-stage SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

NASA has urged crowds to stay away from Cocoa Beach, the traditional viewing spot -- but that did not deter scores of space fans on Wednesday. President Donald Trump, who flew in for the previous launch attempt, is expected to attend again.NASA has had to pay Russia for use of its Soyuz rockets to take US astronauts to space ever since the space shuttle program ended and the decision was taken to shift focus to commercial partners for missions in low Earth orbit.
