SpaceX, Falcon 9 Dragon delays are rare: Former NASA astronaut | Morning in America

SpaceX and NASA are targeting a launch no earlier than Friday for the Crew-10 mission to the International Space Station to relieve Starliner astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams after Wednesday’s attempt was scrubbed due to a launch pad issue. Former NASA astronaut Leroy Chiao says it's rare for SpaceX and the Falcon 9 Dragon rocket to experience delays, as they usually launch on time and don’t often face technical issues.

I wonder when they’re gonna get the test pilots to start wearing knee-high boots and all that the Air Force pilots and stuff like that then that eject all the time when a spaceship goes sideways knee-high boots are going to help you buddy

I’m ask us the question again I’m no rocket surgeon but I thought spaceships were trying to be as late as possible so why did the spaceman have knee-high boots on? Are they getting out and walking somewheres? Why do you need knee-high boots? Why not just wear like regular shoes or crocs. They don’t leave the capsule is there Highwater mark on the moon why the knee high boots The only thing I can come up with is they go back to the Nazi days
