  • SpaceX and NASA scrubbed the launch due to poor weather.

Deceptions

62%

Examples:

  • The statement 'Crew-8 is due to fly three NASA astronauts and one Roscosmos cosmonaut to the Station on March 2, while the Starlink 6-41 flight and Transporter 10 are now due to fly on March 4' is deceptive because it implies that Crew-8 will be flying before Transporter-10 but this is not true.
  • The statement 'KAIROS small satellite launcher developed by Japan is making its debut in space' is incorrect as KAIROS has already been launched before.
