News states that a crew of international astronauts are stuck in the International Space Station. The two astronauts’ names are Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams. They were supposed to return in July last year. The Crew-10 flight, part of a routine ISS staff rotation, is jointly operated by NASA and SpaceX. SpaceX was supposed to launch a rocket on Wednesday Evening from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. However, the company called off the launch attempt because of an issue with the launchpad’s ground system. The problem seemed to be caused by the hydraulic system used to control one of two clamps that hold onto the upper portion of the rocket as it sits vertically on the ground pad before launch. NASA spokesperson, Darrol Nall states,” This is a ground issue. Everything was fine with the rocket and spacecraft.” NASA said last Wednesday that liftoff was going to be no later than Friday at 7:03 p.m. ET. Since then, the astronauts have returned to Earth in the middle of March.
