SpaceX said the latest crewed mission was delayed to replace a faulty valve in the Dragon spacecraft’s propulsion system, requiring engineers to cut into an internal propellant line. Four crew members launched Thursday from Cape Canaveral, Florida, aboard a Falcon 9 and Dragon for a six-month expedition to the International Space Station.
