Bad weather forced Elon Musk's
SpaceX to delay until Sunday a test in which it will destroy one of its own rockets in a trial of a crucial emergency abort system on an unmanned
astronaut capsule.

The test, the company's final milestone test before flying
NASA astronauts from U.S. soil, had been planned to take place on Saturday.
SpaceX said in a
Twitter post https://twitter.com/SpaceX/status/1218473546772430848 it was standing down from the
Crew Dragon capsule test because of high winds and rough seas in the recovery area.
