SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket was scheduled for launch to replace astronauts stranded on the ISS, but the mission was canceled just before takeoff due to a hydraulic issue. This setback means astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore must wait longer before returning home. SpaceX has rescheduled the mission for March 13, emphasizing safety over haste. The delay has raised concerns regarding political implications, as Elon Musk's earlier offer to rescue the astronauts was declined by the Biden Administration to avoid giving an advantage in the presidential race.
SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket's launch intended to replace astronauts at the ISS was aborted shortly before takeoff due to a 'hydraulic ground issue'.
The launch delay was attributed to a clamp arm malfunction, illustrating SpaceX and NASA's commitment to safety, alongside the disappointment for astronauts waiting to return.
