High winds scrub SpaceX launch from Florida; next window set for Thursday

High winds forced SpaceX to cancel this morning’s Falcon 9 rocket launch from Kennedy Space Center. “Standing down due to high winds; working toward next available launch opportunity,” the company posted on Twitter. The launch window was scheduled to open at 1:34 a.m., but on Monday the U.S. Air Force’s 45th Weather Squadron, which is based on the coast, said there was only a 40 percent chance of lift off. A backup window opens at 1:35 a.m. on Thursday. More
