  • SpaceX scrubs third Dragon flight due to weather, will try again Thursday

"I notice plenty of humidity out there, but another thing we have to deal with is the direction of the steering flow, or where the winds in the atmosphere are going to steer those afternoon showers and thunderstorms", U.S. Air Force weather officer Will Ulrich said during a pre-launch news conference Wednesday. Tell everyone on the International Space Station that if someone asks where the slime is, under no circumstances should they ever answer "I don't know".

Tonight, at 6:24 p.m. EDT, the CRS-18 mission will take off from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, Space.com reported.

The CRS-18 mission is an important one for NASA and SpaceX: The flight is delivering nearly 5,000 pounds of supplies to the ISS.

SpaceX successfully recovered the Falcon 9 first stage with a ground landing at Cape Canaveral - a signature move by the company, which hopes to lower rocket costs by reusing components.

Nickelodeon slime is headed to the International Space Station via the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, according to Nickelodeon. In addition, this Dragon spacecraft bears the Apollo 50th anniversary logo in honor of NASA's historic Moon landing on July 20, 1969. Two other NASA ports are available for SpaceX, Northrop Grumman and Japanese cargo ships that rely on the station's robot arm for capture and berthing.

Dragon is also outfitted with four ceramic heat shield tiles that are being tested for use on the Starship, SpaceX's next-gen spacecraft now under development. Notably, it carries the International Docking Adapter-3, which will attach to the ISS to allow future NASA Commercial Crew Program spacecraft to dock autonomously. SpaceX is aiming to launch a crewed version of Dragon by the end of 2019. Executing a flawless trip to and from the station will highlight the strides SpaceX has made toward creating reusable hardware that can drive down the cost of space travel. Dragon is supposed to reach the ISS for docking on Friday. The CRS-18 mission may be business as usual, but a rocket launch is always a majestic sight.

There is a backup launch date on Thursday at 6:01pm ET (22:01 UTC), but unfortunately the weather appears to be about the same.
