SpaceX and NASA's Crew-10 mission took off in a Falcon 9 rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Friday, March 14

Elon Musk’s SpaceX has delayed a mission to replace two astronauts stuck on board the International Space Station (ISS) following a last-minute technical glitch. The postponement of the launch on Wednesday means that NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams will have to wait at least two more days before they can begin their return to Earth.

Astronauts orbiting 250 miles above Earth got a front-row seat to destruction on Thursday. During a SpaceX flight test of Starship, the world's most powerful rocket and spacecraft system, NASA 's Don Pettit snapped photos from the International Space Station of the ship blowing up.

The replacements for NASA’s two stuck astronauts launched to the International Space Station on Friday night, paving the way for the pair’s return after nine long months. Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams need SpaceX to get this relief team to the space station before they can check out.

NASA and SpaceX on Friday (March 14) launched a long-awaited crew to the International Space Station that will let them bring home U.S. astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been stuck on the orbital lab for nine months.

SpaceX has launched Nasa's Crew-10 mission, with a Falcon 9 rocket sending four astronauts to the International Space Station from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The long-awaited crew of US, Japanese and Russian astronauts is expected to arrive to the station on Saturday night and will relieve Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams.

The delayed mission must reach the space station before the two astronauts who've been "stuck" in space can return home.
