[clongton]

Any word on what was out of bounds? Pump pressures perhaps?

No official (solid sources) word here yet, will note if I hear something.

How long do we have left in the window? (Minus the 15 minutes for the count to resume).

Window closes at 1500 EST.

[rkoenn]

2:20 PM Local time here now at the cape.  So 25 minutes max.

[Ronsmytheiii]

winds continuing to shift, now coming from 290 degrees, deviation 23-24 degrees

[kraisee]

KSC radio said new T-0 at 2:45pm.

That would imply about 7 mins to resuming the count.

[EDIT: Confirmed.   Resume the count at 14:30, T-0 is 14:45]

[Ronsmytheiii]

SpaceX will try to launch the Falcon 9 rocket again today at 2:45 p.m. EDT. The countdown will resume at the T-15 minute point. Today’s launch window closes at 3 p.m.

SpaceX says the Falcon’s nine main engines did not ignite prior to the computer cutoff command.

Cool. That's what we were told too, but it did look like there was activity, so official confirmation is always good.

Polling underway.

[Chris Bergin]

Go for terminal count. Come of F9, get off the ground.

[Chris Bergin]

Lots of faint chatter on the loop, and laughing!
