Disappointing news from the U.S.
The much anticipated rocket launch by SpaceX was called off Wednesday due to weather concerns.
The next attempt to launch is set for Saturday and it will be the first crewed mission to launch from the U.S. since 2011.
Yoon Jung-min reports.
The historic mission to carry astronauts into orbit by Elon Musk's private rocket company SpaceX was postponed Wednesday due to inclement weather.
It was scheduled to blast off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida at around 4:33 PM Eastern Time,... but the launch was scrubbed due to storm concerns.
It was due to take two NASA astronauts in the Crew Dragon capsule to the International Space Station.
"Dragon SpaceX, unfortunately we are not going to launch today. You are go for 5.100 launch scrub."
The next attempt to launch is set for Saturday.
If successful, it will be the first time in nine years to send astronauts to space from U.S. soil,... as well as the first time that a commercially-developed space vehicle has carried humans into orbit.
U.S. President Donald Trump and the First Lady Melania Trump attended Wednesday's event, but had to leave without seeing history being made.
Aside from the historic launch, SpaceX's in-house spacesuits have drawn a lot of attention from the media and public.
The astronauts were seen wearing custom-fitted spacesuits, which not only looked brand-new and slim-fit, but also provide them with protection against the dangers associated with a rocket launch.
