SpaceX’s Crew Dragon is one of the spacecraft that NASA will eventually use to ferry astronauts into space, but it’s not quite there yet. Unfortunately, an anticipated January test flight has now been pushed back for unspecified reasons, and NASA now says that Crew Dragon won’t life off until February at the earliest.
SpaceX has been working to fill NASA’s need for a crew-capable ship that it can launch on its own terms without relying on Russia’s Soyuz rockets, but the company has been hit with several setbacks that pushed back its delivery timeline. It’s still unclear at this point when Crew Dragon might actually be ready for use in a NASA mission.
