E-Cat · Feb 29, 2016

Here we go!!

TyrantII · Feb 29, 2016

Coast Gaurd was on CB chewing them out. Let's get this done.

iceblade997 · Feb 29, 2016

Really hope they'll be able to launch this time. Launch, nail the landing, and most importantly, deploy the satellite.

Think the chance of landing just went to zero given how much warmer the fuel must have gotten standing on the pad.

DJ88 · Feb 29, 2016

Heh what did they tell them?

Oriel · Feb 29, 2016

WeAreStarStuff · Feb 29, 2016

So great watching this live.

Last_colossi · Feb 29, 2016

Looks like they're clear to launch!

dorn. · Feb 29, 2016

Seems like it's a go!

Staab · Feb 29, 2016

cameron · Feb 29, 2016

T-1min. They have this.

thefro · Feb 29, 2016

Of course they can always stop at the last second.

E-Cat · Feb 29, 2016

1 min!

. Well, as long as they can deploy the satellite that'll be the important thing. Especially given how many delays they've had.

Edit: nvm - launch abort.

Oriel · Feb 29, 2016

Fly you gorgeous bastard, fly!

Edit: Launch abort! Waaagggh!

cameron · Feb 29, 2016

Shit. They don't have this.

Arc07 · Feb 29, 2016

Damnit.

NightOnyx · Feb 29, 2016

Staab · Feb 29, 2016

Lonestar · Feb 29, 2016

Maaaajor fucking buzzkill.

dorn. · Feb 29, 2016

fuuuck

Last_colossi · Feb 29, 2016

Oh no...

hamauzu kaito · Feb 29, 2016

Man this must be really frustrating to the team.

thebeeks · Feb 29, 2016

DANG.

legacyzero · Feb 29, 2016

GODDAMIT

DrForester · Feb 29, 2016

I didn't know they could abort once the engines ignited.

Jezbollah · Feb 29, 2016

LOL that was a fizzler.

The_Inquisitor · Feb 29, 2016

Something didn't fire off right...

WeAreStarStuff · Feb 29, 2016

No....

Last_colossi · Feb 29, 2016

Hopefully they can keep everything secure and not damage the falcon-9 for later testing.

SpyGuy239 · Feb 29, 2016

GODDAMIT

Jezbollah · Feb 29, 2016

I bet Elon is FUMING right now.

That rocket straight up failed to fire up properly.

Oriel · Feb 29, 2016

Spaceflight is hard.

It aborted. I don't think it failed.

cebri.one · Feb 29, 2016

The inboard computer aborted the launch. Damn.

cameron · Feb 29, 2016

Webcast says abort during the ignition sequence. Falcon 9 is safe.

Well, we know now!

No something definitely failed that's why they aborted.

It's too early to know for sure. I suspect it was down to the chilling of the engines.

EDIT: LOL. The ship that was in the exclusion zone was a US Navy ship. FML.

Computer controls last 45 seconds so computer saw something by the algorithm isn't nominal. Could have been anything.

chadskin · Feb 29, 2016

It choked like Rubio. Are they going to give this another go today?
