CAPE CANAVERAL SPACE FORCE STATION, FL – Absolutely dreadful weather forced a scrub to this mornings (May 16) Atlas V liftoff and thereby delayed the back-to-back double header of ultra-rare and exciting rocket launches  slated for this weekend by a day each by rocket makers ULA and SpaceX respectively from the Florida Space Coast – pretty much as expected based on the ultra-poor weather forecast.
