SpaceX Launch of Crew Dragon Capsule Carrying Four-Man Crew Aborted Minutes Before Liftoff

A launch of a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule carrying a four-man crew bound for the International Space Station was called off with less than three minutes to go due to a technical issue. The mission is part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program and is the first operational flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft. The next attempt to launch the mission could come as early as Tuesday, although poor weather is forecast up the East Coast in the emergency recovery area.
