Two NASA missions, set for a late-night launch aboard a single rocket on Monday night, have been delayed again. Both aim to unravel mysteries about the universe — one by peering far from Earth, the other by looking closer to home.
Less than an hour before the scheduled launch on a Falcon 9 rocket on Monday night, NASA and SpaceX announced at the start of a live broadcast that the flight was being scrubbed because of thick clouds over the launch area. There was also an issue with one of the systems on the NASA spacecraft.
SpaceX announced on the website X that the next launch opportunity would occur on Tuesday night at 11:10 p.m. Eastern time.

Love the headline that implies SpaceX is to blame when one was weather and the other was actually NASA.

“SpaceX again scrubs…” Nice headline, ignoring that this one is a weather scrub.

But the article is thorough and well written.
