In a dramatic twist, SpaceX's much-anticipated launch of four astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) was thwarted by thick clouds over Cape Canaveral, Florida. The countdown was abruptly stopped at just 67 seconds before liftoff.

The next attempt is currently scheduled for Friday, but with unfavorable weather predicted, anticipation is building as both crew and fans hold their breath.

This crew, composed of American, Japanese, and Russian astronauts, is set to replace the team that arrived in March and will spend a minimum of six months at the ISS, conducting vital research and experiments.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who is taking the reins at NASA, was present at Kennedy Space Center during the launch attempt. Although the day began with perfect weather, conditions rapidly deteriorated as winds picked up and clouds enveloped the launch pad.

Stay tuned as we await the fate of this extraordinary mission! Will the clouds clear in time for Friday’s attempt? Only time will tell.
