Boo. SpaceX Scrubbed for the Day

As of 1712, they are beginning scrub procedures. This means they will not launch today, and it sounds like they may not launch for 24-48 hours. They will begin de-tanking (removing fuel) shortly. Sigh.

Damn. SpaceX Abort

Demo Flight 2 has been aborted with less than 3 minutes to go. The rocket was secured (a pretty exciting process to watch and listen to), and the countdown stopped at T -00:01:02. I’m still waiting to see what the outcome is.
They’re just now saying they’re going to spend the next 10 minutes to assess why they aborted.

This is very exciting. I’m watching the webcast right now. I hope it goes well…
