The widely anticipated launch of the SpaceX/NASA Crew-10 mission from the Kennedy Space Center has been scrubbed in the last minutes before launch due to a hydraulics issue with the ground equipment.

The two astronauts have been in space at the International Space Station (ISS) for more than nine months after Boeing’s Starliner was deemed too unsafe to bring them home due to issues with the thrusters and was returned to Earth uncrewed. The next launch window will likely be tomorrow, with the astronauts returning home Friday hopefully.
