She captioned the post writing: “I'm over the moon about being asked to participate in #LaunchAmerica … get it? I love space jokes.” NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley were set to go with the SpaceX Demo-2 launch to the International Space Station on a Crew Dragon spacecraft.

A Falcon 9 rocket would propel the spacecraft. The event, which is under NASA's Commercial Crew Program, had to be halted because of weather concerns.

CALLING OFF THE LAUNCH

In less than 20 minutes before the launch, the event was called off on Wednesday. NASA said: “This mission will validate the company's crew transportation system, including the launch pad, rocket, spacecraft, and operational capabilities.”

WHAT THE ASTRONAUTS WILL DO

It also shared: “This also will be the first time NASA astronauts will test the spacecraft systems in orbit.” The “Since U Been Gone” singer has been self-isolating with her family from their Montana ranch.
