First stage engine cooldown? Go!

Internal power on? Go!

Landing legs painted white? No! Abort!

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 :)

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.
