The first launch of NASA astronauts from Florida in nine years has been pushed to Saturday after bad weather forced the space agency to cancel today's scheduled launch of a Space-X rocket ship.
Both U-S President Donald Trump and Vice-President Mike Pence were present at Cape Canaveral to watch the now-scrubbed lift-off.
The mission is seen as a giant leap forward for the booming business of commercial space travel.
Space veterans Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken were scheduled to ride into orbit Wednesday afternoon aboard the brand-new Dragon capsule.
