NASA has delayed the launch of SpaceX Crew-10 due to a last-minute technical issue. The problem is linked to the hydraulic system on the ground. This unexpected issue means the mission will have to wait longer before lifting off.

Anita Williams and Butch Willmore, astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS), have already been in space for over nine months. They were expecting to return soon, but this delay might extend their stay even further.
