CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Thick clouds prompted SpaceX to call off Thursday’s planned launch of four astronauts to the International Space Station for NASA. The countdown was halted at the one-minute, 7-second mark. SpaceX's next launch attempt from Kennedy Space Center is Friday, although the weather forecast is less favorable.

NASA and SpaceX delayed the Crew-11 launch to the ISS at T-minus one minute before liftoff on July 31 due to cloud cover violating weather safety criteria. The next launch opportunity is scheduled for Friday,
