Problem detected by the launch computer (TCSR? or is that only in the last 8.5 seconds?)

Jim are we in a hold now or in a recycle step to a hold?

This seems to be a fairly large launch window.  What were the limiting factors for this window?   Is it likely Range related?  It certainly doesn't seem to be orbit limited, as over the course of that window, many orbit windows are possible.

Seems to me a script starts running at T-5 (like ones I built for Ariane launches some years ago), and this hold was detected within the script (what ever it's name is); & my ? then is when does the TCSR come in and 'take over'?

TCSR comes in at about 8.5 seconds. Jim is that right?

Haha, thanks Jim.   As a college student, I've forgotten simple things such as sleep.

Sounds like they're either ready to resume when the problem is resolved, or they've resolved the problem and they're waiting to get to a point where they are ready to resume.

PAO said they resolved the problem and are recycling th count to T minus 5.  He didn't say when the count would be picked up, though.

New T-0 configured, but they aren't sharing/confirming/using it yet.

I wonder how a charred Delta IV would handle a T-0 abort ;)
