Bad weather once again holds up the Axiom-1 crew's return to Earth.
The first fully commercial, non-government crew to visit the International Space Station got another bonus day in space Saturday after mission managers opted to delay their return to Earth from Sunday to Monday evening because of expected high winds in the landing zone off the Florida coast.
Axiom-1 crew member Larry Connor, an Ohio real estate executive who paid for a seat on the first fully commercial visit to the International Space Station, takes in a spectacular view of Earth earlier this week from the lab's multi-window cupola compartment."We are going to wave off tonight's attempt," mission control called."We're going to try again tomorrow."
NASA and SpaceX, she said, still plan to launch the next long-duration astronaut crew to the space station Wednesday morning aboard another Crew Dragon capsule,"but still watching weather closely." If the Axiom crew's return is delayed yet another day, the launch is expected to slip in turn.
