President Trump heads to Florida for historic SpaceX launch.
The launch is scheduled to take place at 4:33 p.m. Wednesday, but weather forecasts for Cape Canaveral, Florida, showed potential storms could interfere with the liftoff. The launch is"instantaneous," meaning that it needs to leave precisely at 4:33 p.m. or else the craft risks missing the International Space Station due to the Earth's rotation.
Charles Bolden, a former NASA administrator and astronaut, said in an interview with MSNBC Wednesday morning that he did not think the coronavirus pandemic would affect the ability to successfully launch the rocket, but that he worried it could be putting some workers involved with the event at risk of infection.
"I'm concerned about the safety of the people involved, but I am not concerned that it will impact the launch," Bolden, said.
