The US space agency, NASA, announced the postponement of the launch of the largest rocket ever developed, amid fears that a tropical storm could turn into a hurricane.

The rocket, which is part of a program aimed at returning astronauts to the moon, was expected to launch from the Kennedy Space Center from Florida on Tuesday.

But the US state is threatened by a hurricane in light of the intensification of the tropical storm, which may reach Florida early next week, turning into a strong hurricane.

The missile launch has already been postponed twice before.
