NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said Wednesday's launch was delayed because liftoff could have triggered a lightning storm in an electrically charged atmosphere."In fact, the rocket itself could become a lightning bolt," he said.
Unfortunately, teams can't extend a window and wait for weather to improve. The requirement for Falcon 9 to launch exactly on time is due to orbital mechanics, as the Crew Dragon capsule has to "catch up" with the ISS, which is traveling at 17,000 mph about 250 miles above Earth. Hurley said he was no stranger to scrubbed launches in a Friday tweet: "On my first flight STS-127 on Shuttle Endeavour, we scrubbed 5 times over the course of a month for technical and weather challenges."
Why? What a waste of money. 40, million people out of work and whitey’s on the moon....

Thousands of Americans out of work. Over 100,000 dead during a pandemic. A madman in our White House encouraging hatred bigotry and violence. His SpaceBalls are just insane and irrelevant!
Interesting timing
