Its Live

Countdown now 9:30

Launch canceled :(

launch scrubbed just before ignition,

I guess some sort of warning indicator was tripped,

but as they say, space is hard....

k14: Bummer. Aborted at t-2! Anyone hear what the problem is?

Awesome they put up a live stream, was cool to watch even though it was abandoned.

Bit of an anti climax! Really hope it goes to plan soon.

I was waiting for a mega explosion when the countdown aborted but I  at first had thought the engines had started to ignite. Turned out that was an automated fire retardant system that triggers no matter what, gave the appearance of a shot of steam/exhaust.

Hopefully they can still get it up (ooeer) this launch window.

Sounded awesome on the car audio system via BT as it kicked off.
