The Launch America initiative is not moving forward as planned.
Just moments before the launch was set to begin, NASA called off what was set to be a historic mission on Wednesday (May 27) due to weather conditions, Variety reported.
Here’s what was set to happen, via NASA: “NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will fly on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, lifting off on a Falcon 9 rocket at 4:33 p.m. EDT May 27, from Launch Complex 39A in Florida, for an extended stay at the space station for the Demo-2 mission. The specific duration of the mission is to be determined. As the final flight test for SpaceX, this mission will validate the company’s crew transportation system, including the launch pad, rocket, spacecraft, and operational capabilities. This also will be the first time NASA astronauts will test the spacecraft systems in orbit.”
However, because of “threatening weather conditions in Florida,” it was called off. They will make another attempt on Saturday (May 30) at 3:22 p.m. ET, weather permitting.

NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley will fly on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, lifting off on a Falcon 9 rocket at 4:33 p.m. EDT May 27, from Launch Complex 39A in Florida, for an extended stay at the space station for the Demo-2 mission.

Bob Dylan doesn’t have strong feelings about “pop entertainment” to say the least, but he does think one star is at least “good.”
The 79-year-old “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door” singer-songwriter opened up in an interview with American Songwriter.

“Popular entertainers are fine, there’s nothing the matter with that but as long as you know where you’re standing and what ground you’re on, many of them, they don’t know what they’re doing either,” he said during the conversation.
“Pop entertainment means nothing to me. Nothing. You know, Madonna’s good. Madonna’s good, she’s talented, she puts all kind of stuff together, she’s learned her thing…but it’s the kind of thing which takes years and years out of your life to be able to do. You’ve got to sacrifice a whole lot to do that. Sacrifice. If you want to make it big, you’ve got to sacrifice a whole lot. It’s all the same, it’s all the same.”
Madonna recently made headlines for posting this NSFW photo…
Back in 2015, Travis Scott was on the cover of Complex magazine where he was asked about any budding relationship with Rihanna.
The author of that article, Lawrence Schlossman, is now revealing that Travis was not happy with him that his alleged romance with Rihanna was exposed in that article.
“I broke the news about him and Rihanna, which they told me not to do,” Lawrence said on the Throwing Fits podcast. “Apparently, what [Complex editor Joe] LaPuma, our boy Joe The Puma, told me was that it hurt Complex’s relationship with Travis. This was in 2015/16 I wrote this. But apparently, for the next couple of years, he would complain about that.”
Here’s a quote from the 2015 article: “Travis avoids directly putting a label on his budding relationship, laughing and imploring me to not “do [me] like that, man” when I ask about it as delicately as possible. I am, however, able to get him to describe her in three words: ‘creative,’ ‘inspiring,’ and, after a long pause (and some assistance from Corey), ‘muse.’”
Travis and Rihanna‘s relationship was no secret – they were seen making out at a party earlier in 2015.
