All is go.. T minus 13 minute.
Maybe next time.
Launch aborted .5 seconds after ignition command. Problems with 'engine 5'.. vehicle is safe, another attempt on the 22nd.
I watched it live. The countdown was exciting. The rocket shut itself down, the launch was scrubbed. Bummer.

This is the future of human US space flight.. it's better to find fault and scrub launches than to let it loose and go kaboom. A successful failure?
I saw many night time space shuttle launches from seminole county. Those were awesome.

I'd say so. It must a liquid fuel rocket. I think solid fuel engines, once lit, stay lit. Hope the 2nd attempt goes better for them!
QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?
