In an unusual turn of events, SpaceX called off its latest mission just 33 seconds from launch on Sunday evening due to a cruise ship in the hazard area.
However, it wasn’t because of an issue with SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. Rather, the team spotted a cruise liner in the so-called “hazard area” close to the launch site in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The livestream’s anchor then elaborated, explaining that a vessel had been spotted “making its way toward the no-go zone that the Coast Guard was unable to clear out in time for T-zero,” adding that both the rocket and the payload were “still healthy.”It’s not clear why SpaceX wasn’t already aware of the ship’s movements, though the company may offer more information on the hiccup later this evening.
