Bad weather has forced the launch of the first manned Space X rocket to be called off this morning. The US had been hoping to make history today. If successful it would have been the first private company have sent astronauts into orbit.

今天早上,恶劣的天气迫使美国太空探索技术公司(Space X)的首个载人火箭任务取消。美国一直希望能在今天创造历史。如果成功,这将是私营公司首次将宇航员送入太空轨道。这也是美国国家航空航天局在2011年退役航天飞机后,近十年来宇航员首次从美国本土发射升空。
