Scrubbed. The @SpaceX and @NASA teams did great today and absolutely made the right call in a dynamic weather situation. It can be frustrating but also a very real part of getting to space sometimes. Both @AstroBehnken and I have experienced it. We go again on Saturday!

Unofficially, the backup dates to this Saturday and Sunday for the Demo-2 mission are June 3 and 4, again due to phasing with the ISS. A very early look at weather suggests it will be more favorable. Obviously everyone would like to get the mission off this weekend.
