Elon Musk interacted with some Tesla owners at Southern Florida following the launch of SpaceX Demo-2 Crew Dragon at Kennedy Space Center.

The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX took pictures with fans and owners of the firm ’s electric vehicles at the West Melbourne, Florida Supercharging station. Kennedy Space Center is situated 45 minutes out of West Melbourne, which sits on the Atlantic Ocean side of Florida, just minutes.

Musk took a couple pictures with fans donning a grin regardless of the outcome of this Crew Dragon launch effort, which had been canceled due to weather circumstances. The launch was rescheduled for Saturday, May 30, at 3:22 p.m. EDT, SpaceX announced yesterday.

Interestingly enough, Musk piled up to the Supercharger at a White Tesla Model X, nearly identical to this vehicle Astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken rode in which hauled them to Launch Pad LC-39A in the Operations and Checkout Building at Kennedy Space Center.

SpaceX and NASA called off the Crew Dragon’s Demo-2 inaugural astronaut flight just 16 minutes ahead of its planned launch. Weather in Florida was clearly unfavorable yesterday rain and thunderstorms threatening the heavens above Kennedy Space Center.

The weather forecast for Saturday is just slightly more positive, according to reports. However, there is a 60% chance of favorable launch requirements such as the SpaceX/NASA team, with a similar focus on challenges.

Despite a disappointing scenario that was from anybody ’s hands, Musk made his way to a Supercharger location and socialized with Tesla owners.

Musk is no stranger to adversity with missions. In 2008, SpaceX had run out of cash. In an interview with 60 Minuteshe also detailed the “last opportunity ” he had SpaceX, mentioning the fourth launching as the last straw before producing SpaceX a defunct firm. Musk stated It’s bad enough to have three strikes; using four strikes. ”

After that fourth effort was successful, SpaceX was able to acquire a $1.5 billion contract from NASA, which has resulted in the 2 entities partnering to move spaceflight back into a focus of this government. This, ultimately led up to yesterday’s effort, which included the very first time American astronauts are starting out of American soil in nearly a decade, thanks to this job of Elon Musk and staff at SpaceX.
