Mother Nature hit pause on SpaceX’s latest space adventure Thursday as thick clouds forced a last-minute delay for the Crew-11 mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The countdown stopped at T-minus 1:07—so close you could almost taste the rocket fuel! 🚨
🌍 International Crew, Global Vibes
The team—featuring astronauts from the U.S., Japan, and Russia—is now eyeing Friday for their next launch attempt. But hold your breath: Forecasts suggest a 60% chance of *more* iffy weather. Talk about bad timing! ⏱️
👨🚀 Six-Month Space Stay Ahead
Once they blast off, the crew will swap places with current ISS residents who’ve been orbiting since March. Pro tip: Pack extra snacks—they’ll be conducting science experiments and spacewalks for at least half a year! 🔬
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy (temporarily steering NASA) was on-site at Kennedy Space Center, where blue skies turned moody fast. Wind gusts and stubborn clouds stole the show—proving even billion-dollar tech can’t outsmart weather. 🌪️
