Brotoro Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Flight Log: First stage propellant loaded? Go! Second stage propellant loaded? Go! First stage engine cooldown? Go! Internal power on? Go!

Scotius Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Honestly, i'm not terribly surprised. With all the changes done to the rocket, troubles during the first flight were to be expected. Oh well - better abort than a fireball and a rain of debris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubinator Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 They don't have enough time anymore to make the launch window with T-15:00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delay Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 But I do agree: It's better to have an abort on the ground and wait until the next day than losing an entire, million dollar worth rocket plus payload. Even if it means that some of us won't be able to see the launch then... Looking at you, @Scotius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
