Historic SpaceX launch postponed because of stormy weather

Ever since the space shuttle was retired in 2011, NASA has relied on Russian spaceships launched from Kazakhstan to take US astronauts to and from the space station. NASA pushed ahead with the launch preparations despite the viral outbreak but kept the guest list at Kennedy extremely limited and asked spectators to stay at home. The space agency also estimated 1.7 million people were watching the launch preparations online.
