SpaceX Crew 10 Set to Launch Tonight 7:03PM ET Towards the International Space Station โ€“ Mission Will Relieve Stranded Astronauts Wilmore and Williams To Return to Earth


At this point in time, we feel like being very cautious as to not jinx it, but it does seem that NASA and SpaceX will be finally able to launch the agencyโ€™s Crew-10 mission tonight (14), 7:03 p.m. ET, to the International Space Station.

Inspections of the ground solved the support hydraulics system that was holding it up.

The weather is expected to be excellent on the Space Coast heading into the launch opportunity.

NASAโ€™s blog:

โ€œNASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov will fly to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft atop a Falcon 9 rocket.โ€

In itself, Crew-10 is quite the milestone, as the agencyโ€™s 10th crew rotation mission of SpaceXโ€™s human space transportation system.

But itโ€™s impossible not to think and mention that this is the crew that will relieve the long-stranded Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, the crew from Boeingโ€™s troublesome Starliner maiden crewed voyage.

ABC News reported:

โ€œThe launch Wednesday was abruptly postponed less than 45 minutes before liftoff due to a problem with a ground support clamp arm on the Falcon 9 rocket.

[โ€ฆ] Barry โ€˜Butchโ€™ Wilmore and Sunita โ€˜Suniโ€™ Williams have been in space since June 2024 after they performed the first crewed test flight of Boeingโ€™s Starliner. When they launched, they were only supposed to be on the ISS for about a week.โ€

However, NASA and Boeing officials decided to send the uncrewed Starliner back to Earth in September after several issues and keep Wilmore and Williams onboard until early 2025 when Crew-10 was ready to launch on the Dragon spacecraft. Wilmore and Williams are set to return in the Crew-9 capsule.โ€

Troublesome Starliner had to return to Earth uncrewed.

In September, Wilmore said he and Williams did not feel let down by anything during the mission.

โ€œโ€™Let down? Absolutely notโ€™, Wilmore said. โ€˜Itโ€™s never entered my mind. [โ€ฆ] NASA does a great job of making a lot of things look easy. Thatโ€™s just the way it goes. Sometimes because we are pushing the edges of the envelope in everything that we doโ€™.โ€

Lately, it surfaced that the two astronauts were left in space longer than necessary because of political machinations by the Joe Biden administration.
