CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Thick clouds prompted SpaceX to call off Thursday’s planned launch of four astronauts to the International Space Station for NASA. The countdown was halted at the one-minute, 7-second mark. SpaceX's next launch attempt from Kennedy Space Center is Friday, although the weather forecast is less favorable.

For Zena Cardman, the NASA astronaut who commands the Crew-11 mission, that means another wait for her first trip to orbit.

NASA's SpaceX Crew-11 mission to the International Space Station was scrubbed Thursday due to weather conditions at the Kennedy Space Center in the US state of Florida. "Standing down from today's Falcon 9 launch of Dragon due to cloud cover at the launch site," SpaceX wrote on X.
