SpaceX's next crew flight is off until at least next week, as NASA debates whether to bring astronauts back from the International Space Station before launching their replacements.
Flight surgeons, meanwhile, are continuing to monitor the "minor medical issue" affecting one of four astronauts awaiting liftoff at NASA's Kennedy Space Center.
"The weather in November can be especially challenging, so our goal is to move forward on the plan with the highest probability of mission assurance and crew safety," NASA's commercial crew program manager, Steve Stich, said in a statement. NASA said managers will make a final decision soon on whether to prioritize the launch or splashdown, based on weather. They're also reviewing how many days would be needed between the two events.
