SpaceX crewed launch from Kennedy Space Center delayed until Wednesday

ORLANDO, Fla. — The next SpaceX crewed launch won’t happen in the wee hours of Halloween after all. Bad weather has delayed the Kennedy Space Center liftoff until early Wednesday.

NASA and SpaceX have reset the mission’s start for 1:10 a.m. Wednesday, rescheduling a flight to the International Space Station that originally had been set to lift off at 2:21 a.m. Sunday.

The move came because of the persistent storm system that has been “meandering across the Ohio Valley and through the northeastern United States this weekend, elevating winds and waves in the Atlantic Ocean along the Crew Dragon flight path for the Oct. 31 launch attempt,” NASA said in an early-morning news release Saturday.
