Resupply Launch to ISS Rescheduled

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station will have to wait a little longer for fresh fruit and supplies.

SpaceX called off Tuesday morning's planned resupply flight due to rocket trouble. The countdown was halted with just a minute to go before liftoff. The unmanned cargo capsule is loaded with 5,000 pounds of food, science experiments and even a belated holiday surprise for the astronauts.

The next possible launch attempt is Friday morning. And some students will keep their eye to the sky. Nearly 20 experiments created by students and approved by NASA were loaded onto the capsule.
