NASA and SpaceX hope on Friday to launch a long-awaited crewed rocket that will let them bring home U.S. astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams,

stuck on the International Space Station for nine months.



SpaceX and the U.S. space agency had planned to launch a replacement crew of four astronauts from Florida on Wednesday, a mission called Crew-10, but a last-minute problem with the rocket's ground systems forced a delay.



NASA on Thursday said SpaceX had resolved the issue - flushing a suspected pocket of air out of a hydraulic clamp arm - and that the weather was 95% percent favorable for a Friday launch.
