I've been told two minutes ago that the launch is delayed again.

The decision to interrupt the launch sequence was taken just 10 minutes before the planned launch time

So what's the latest news? Would they reattempt in January or would the rocket be shipped back to Samara?

Why do they need a steering engine? Does the NK-33 not gimbal but AJ-26 does?

The NK-33 does not gimbal as produced in 1973.

Then how was the N1 supposed to maneuver?  ???

Differential throttling, presumably. (Although the N1 never flew with NK-33)

As per NK forum, the problem was with pneumatic-hydraulic system of Rocket minutes before launch.

According to my informations, launch scrub was due to failure of a valve in engine NK-33A. Probably the valve was frozen due to propellant drain.
