Hey space fans and tech enthusiasts, today's SpaceX Crew-11 launch from Kennedy Space Center hit a snag when thick clouds rolled in unexpectedly. The countdown was halted at one minute, seven seconds to ensure all safety protocols were met. 🚀
The morning started off perfectly clear, but as winds picked up, those heavy clouds reminded us that even our high-tech space missions have to dance with Mother Nature—kind of like waiting out sudden monsoon showers in our own cities!
The diverse crew, with members from the U.S., Japan, and Russia, is set to spend at least six months aboard the International Space Station, filling in for colleagues from a March mission. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, temporarily leading NASA, was right on site at Kennedy Space Center for the launch attempt.
SpaceX is gearing up for another try on Friday, despite forecasts hinting at less-than-ideal weather. Stay tuned for more updates as the team keeps pushing the boundaries of space exploration while overcoming Earth’s unpredictable elements.
