Transcript of Weather concerns lead to delay of Polaris Dawn launch

ROSS KETSCHKE IS JOINING US LIVE IN THE STUDIO. AND, ROSS, WHAT'S CAUSING THESE DELAYS? SO, TOM, FIRST SPACEX WAS RUNNING MORE SYSTEM CHECKS. THEN THEY SPENT A D DAY ADDRESSG A HELIUM LEAK. NOW WEATHER IS KEEPING THAT CREW ON THE GROUND FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THERE'S NO FIRM LAUNCH DATE SET YET, BUT THE EARLIEST SPACEX IS INDICATING THAT EVERYTHING WOULD BE READY TO GO WOULD BE THIS FRIDAY. SCOTT POTEET OF DURHAM IS THE MISSION'S PILOT. WE TALKED TO HIM EARLIER THIS WEEK ABOUT ALL THE WORK AND TRAINING GOING INTO THIS MISSION TODAY, HE WROTE ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT THE WAIT CAN BE CHALLENGING, BUT IT'S ALL GOING TO BE WORTH IT. THE CREW IS SET TO PERFORM THE FIRST EVER SPACEWALK BY A PRIVATE SPACE COMPANY AND GO FURTHER INTO EARTH'S ORBIT THAN ANY FLIGHT SINCE THE APOLLO PROGRAM DECADES AGO. WE SPOKE WITH FORMER ASTRONAUT JAY BUCKEY, WHO FLEW DURING THE SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM. HE SAYS, WHEN YOU'RE GETTING READY FOR LAUNCH, PATIENCE IS EVERYTHING. IT'S LIKE IF YOU'VE BEEN ON A SPORTS TEAM, YOU KNOW, LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE ALL PSYCHED FOR THE GAME AND THEN IT DOESN'T GO. AND THEN EVERYBODY'S LET DOWN. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS, YOU REALIZE, IS THAT THERE'S JUST NO VALUE IN RUSHING IT. YOU KNOW. SO IT'S GOING TO GO AND IT'S GOING TO GO. AND YOU JUST HAVE TO KIND OF GO ALONG WITH THINGS AS THEY HAPPEN. AND BUCKEY EXPERIENCED A DELAY IN ONE OF HIS OWN LAUNCHES. HE SAYS WHEN THAT HAPPENED, HIS CREW ACTUALLY HAD A GREAT TIME SPENDING TIME TOGETHER, AND THEY EVEN SQUEEZED IN A BIT
