SpaceX's first manned rocket launch delayed

SpaceX will try again May 30 to launch astronauts into orbit after NASA scrubbed a Wednesday mission as bad weather threatened Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The new timeline means Elon Musk’s SpaceX will have to wait a few more days for astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to ride the company’s Dragon capsule to the International Space Station. The voyage -- scheduled for 3:22 p.m. on Saturday -- will be the first launch of American astronauts from U.S. soil since 2011.
