depends on why they aborted and how far back they cycle the count.

"LOX Load did not stop during terminal count" if I heard it right.

So maybe that pesky valve didn't co-operate and that caused the abort.

I think this is a scrub, they didn't just hold, they aborted and the chatter on the coms is about working the abort process and safing the vehicle.

LOX seems to be the bugaboo, what with the weird pump/vent during the WDR/SF, and the hold earlier.

Time to ramp up the speculation generation machine as we play "was there any connection between the pump failure/gravity feed/venting and today's valve troubles... "

Looks like an auto-abort, something it doesn't like.

I'm confused why we need in-vision commentary...

Not a scrub yet.

Depends why it called a halt.

Btw,

I heard two different female flight controllers (one with what seemed like a Scottish accent?).. for those of you keeping track of that.

Recycle is only to save time. still could scrub depending on problem resolution.

Well, it sounds like MS Windows troubleshooting, turning it off and on again and look if it works. Disclaimer: Of course we don't hear if/what there was discusses on an anomaly channel.

Edit: Apparently they changed someting, so I'll take that back!
