Those two guys in the rocket today must have had a squeaky bum moment when the rocket failed.
Glad they are back safely. But spare a thought for the guys on the space station who thought they were coming home but have to spend another 3 months there. How much food do they have?

SPACEX will launch its first human crew to the International Space Station (ISS) today, marking a landmark achievement for SpaceX and NASA - but what time is the launch and how can you watch it in the UK?

The launch is scheduled for 9.33pm BST (4.33pm EDT, 1.33pm PDT) today.

A backup launch window is avaiable on Saturday, May 30, at 8.22pm BST (3.22pm EDT, 12.22pm PDT).

About half an hour to lift-off.

 

[ianrauk]

Nope.. launch just called off

 

[cisamcgu]

Launch aborted

 

[macp]

Bummer !

 

[C R]

Our children were quite disappointed. Will the Saturday launch still follow the same trajectory over the UK?

 

[jayonabike]

Not directly after the launch but subsequent orbits later in the evening apparently

 

[Lullabelle]

Real shame it didn't happen really looking forward to it

 

[LeetleGreyCells]

Apparently, there's more thunderstorms forecast for the next attempt so that may be written off too
