Must be in shallow water. If you're deep enough the hurricanes won't affect you.

It was, but even if it had been deep enough, NASA would have pulled them since you can't have support/rescue ships for deeper rigs sitting on the surface in the middle of hurricane. Except for a couple lamentable lapses, NASA errs far on the side of caution.

"Although Saint-Jacques is disappointed the mission was cut short, he said he's looking forward to the next step in his new career.

"I'll be working on my Russian language," he said, acknowledging that his only real chance of going to space is aboard a Russian rocket."
