Maybe we will need to get used to Falcon aborting like our car engines false-starting.

And :ahem: the venting of the rocket sounds soooooo similar to coughing......

Wow! You don't get it narrower than that! Space historians will know better but I believe that's the first post T=0 abort that I've ever seen on a SpaceX launch.

According to wikipedia falcon 1 flight 1 aborted at +25 sec and Falcon 1 F2 aborted at 7:30. Do these count??

I wonder what SpaceX's LOX bill has been after the last week.

...and they're pressing for another go (as per @elonmusk). Such a tease.

Elon's tweet: "Launch aborted by autosequence due to slower than expected thrust ramp. Seems ok on closer inspection. Cycling countdown."
