Weather again could throw a wrench in the planned launch for NASA's SpaceX mission to the International Space Station Saturday afternoon.

NASA and SpaceX are hoping Saturday's weather in Cape Canaveral, Florida, will not scrub a second attempt to launch two U.S. astronauts into space.The forecast for NASA's SpaceX launch in Cape Canaveral Saturday, unfortunately, calls for scattered thunderstorms, including lightning. While the forecast is not looking as poor as this past Wednesday’s forecast, which forced NASA to scrub the launch, it isn’t looking significantly better either.

The forecast for NASA's SpaceX launch in Cape Canaveral Saturday, unfortunately, calls for scattered thunderstormsWednesday's launch was called off less than 20 minutes before its scheduled liftoff from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida due to inclement weather. The storm will bring some rain into parts of northern California Saturday, which would be welcomed since much of the northern half of California and nearly all of Oregon are in some type of drought condition. Additionally, parts of this region also received a significant heatwave earlier this week. There could be a couple of pockets of flooding with the storm Saturday.

As the storm moves into the Northwest, it will likely bring a chance for a couple of severe storms in Oregon and Washington, with gusty, damaging winds the main threat.

Frankly, we don’t need another distraction at this time. Maybe abort the mission for the next month till everything else that is life and death takes priority

Why an ordinary cloudy ⛅ weather can prevent the spacecraft 🚀 to successfully launch? Somebody could explane?

Not to mention hallucinations.

Surely, if Trump shows up it will be scraped again.

Can’t even launch a rocket

10, 9, 8, 7, …… ¡Ignition! 🚀 Send my best regards to …. 👽👽👽👽

Historic SpaceX Launch PostponedA SpaceX mission to send two NASA astronauts to the International Space Station, which will mark the first time a private enterprise has launched humans into space, has been postponed due to thunderstorms. What do you think? 😂 I blame the cloud inspector. The cgi wouldnt be believable or even visible under their weather conditions. Best to wait for clear skies. They've been building that video for months.
