TL;DR Summary

SpaceX has delayed the launch of its Falcon Heavy rocket due to poor weather conditions around Kennedy Space Center. The rocket is now scheduled to launch on Friday, April 28, at 7:29 p.m. EDT. The mission will not include any landings at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station or on a drone ship due to the amount of propellant needed to deliver the ViaSat-3 Americas communications satellite to geostationary orbit.
