SpaceX Falcon rocket set for second launch attempt

SpaceX will try again on Tuesday to launch its re-supply mission to the space station.

The first attempt on Saturday was thwarted by a faulty valve in one of the engines on the California company's Falcon 9 rocket.

The lift-off at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida was aborted just half a second before the vehicle was due to leave the pad.

Tuesday's attempt has been scheduled for 03:44 EDT (07:44 GMT; 08:44 BST).
