Today NASA was going to create history by launching the SpaceX rocket into the orbits. But the launch got cancelled 16 minutes before the countdown. The launch got cancelled due to ti the bad weather.

The rocket ship was about to launch with two astronauts when it was called off. The liftoff is scheduled for Saturday.

The spacecraft was set to blast off Wednesday afternoon for the International Space Station, ushering in a new era in commercial spaceflight and putting NASA back in the business of launching astronauts from U.S. soil for the first time in nearly a decade.

Space veterans Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken were scheduled to ride into orbit aboard the brand-new Dragon capsule on top of a Falcon 9 rocket, taking off for the International Space Station at 4:33 p.m. EDT from the same launch pad used during the Apollo moon missions a half-century ago.
