SpaceX and NASA say Crew-8 astronauts won't launch to ISS until March 1 after private moonshot

Four astronauts in white launch spacesuits giving thumbs' up signs.

We'll have to wait a little bit longer to see SpaceX launch its next astronaut crew into orbit for NASA.

On Thursday (Feb. 15), SpaceX and NASA agreed to postpone the launch of their joint Crew-8 mission to the International Space Station to no earlier than March 1, a two-day delay from an earlier Feb. 28 target that had already slipped six days. Liftoff is set for 12:04 a.m. EST (0504 GMT) atop a Falcon 9 rocket that will lift off from Pad 39A of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
