Two Nasa astronauts are being fitted on Saturday to the top of the rocket SpaceX, which must be sent into space, after an attempt stopped at the last minute on Wednesday for fear of the lightning. The mission is critical: the first manned flight originating in the United States for nine years, and the first entrusted to a private company.
After some hesitation due to the risk of storms, Nasa and the boss of SpaceX, Elon Musk, confirmed Saturday morning that the weather, although uncertain, are not would stop no preparations for a take-off at 21h22 of the Kennedy space center on the atlantic coast in Florida, under the eye of Donald Trump.
