Engine Pressure 5 was high :(

So any word / prior info on when they'll have a debriefing? And will it be webcast on SpaceX's website / covered on NASATV?

Ugh. Chamber pressure was the reason for the scrub.


Fantastic coverage Chris.

This is not that big of a deal guys, better to abort today than have a bad day.
