Launch at 07:21:00 PM ET.

 

[E-Cat]

Here we go!!

 

[TyrantII]

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

 

[iceblade997]

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.

Edit: "The Coast Guard says the range is now clear"

 

[DJ88]

Finally managed to catch one of these live! Hoping we get to see a clean landing.

Heh what did they tell them?

 

[Oriel]

2 mins!

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

So great watching this live.

 

[Last_colossi]

Looks like they're clear to launch!

 

[dorn.]

Seems like it's a go!

 

[Staab]

it's happening, GAF, HOLD ME and SPACEX !

 

[cameron]

T-1min. They have this.

 

[thefro]

green for launch!

Of course they can always stop at the last second.

 

[E-Cat]

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]

Fly you gorgeous bastard, fly!

Edit: Launch abort! Waaagggh!

 

[cameron]

Shit. They don't have this.

 

[Arc07]

Damnit.

 

[NightOnyx]

damn it!

 

[Staab]

nooooooooooooo

 

[Lonestar]

UGH

 

[E-Cat]

ABORT!

 

[s_mirage]

FFS!

 

[chadskin]

Oops.

 

[DJ88]

Maaaajor fucking buzzkill.

 

[dorn.]

fuuuck

 

[Last_colossi]

Oh no...

 

[hamauzu kaito]

Man this must be really frustrating to the team.

 

[thebeeks]

DANG.

 

[legacyzero]

GODDAMIT

 

[DrForester]

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

 

[Jezbollah]

LOL that was a fizzler.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Something didn't fire off right...

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

No....

 

[Last_colossi]

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

 

[SpyGuy239]

GODDAMIT

 

[Jezbollah]

I bet Elon is FUMING right now.

That rocket straight up failed to fire up properly.

 

[Oriel]

Spaceflight is hard.

 

[subrock]

I bet Elon is FUMING right now.

That rocket straight up failed to fire up properly.

It aborted. I don't think it failed.

 

[cebri.one]

The inboard computer aborted the launch. Damn.

 

[cameron]

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

 

[Lonestar]

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

Well, we know now!

 

[The_Inquisitor]

It aborted. I don't think it failed.

No something definitely failed that's why they aborted.

 

[Jezbollah]

It aborted. I don't think it failed.

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.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

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

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

 

[chadskin]

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