The net said "Prop is calling 'Abort.'"

Elon Musk ‏@elonmusk 4m
If launch aborts, we will bring the rocket down for engine inspection, so probably a few days before next attempt

Abort was called manualy by propulsion officer on the primary countdown net.

Flight computer did not start up at T-60 seconds.

You sure?

DVR shifting a few seconds,
Controller called Abort Abort Abort, but flight computer had already taken control of the vehicle.
It happened just after the call of 2nd stage pressing was made.

Meaning that someone forgot to reset the Internal Launch Computer when they recycled?

NET called SCRUB
I think my stream was lagging quite a few seconds towards the end.

Ran out of time for review. Scrub.

Star One · « **Reply #173 on:** 11/28/2013 10:50 pm »

Another attempt probably in a few days time.

Webcast over.

So the plan is I'll update William's article and aim to write another scrub review via upcoming work in L2.....like we did for the last scrub.

"props called abort" ..thats how I got it.. but probably not related to the second stage call.. simply ran out of time and prop was not comfortable with launch

LD said they're scrubbed because they ran out of time for data review after the FIRST engine start. Presumably the PROP team was still reviewing it, and could've done exactly what they ended up doing (manual abort) in case the data didn't support a safe launch. On the other hand, if they were sure the F9 was good to go by the T-60s deadline, they'd have launched. (There's some critical path restructuring and project management for you

)

So, AIUI, this was technically a 'hold' for want of time to review data, but because no 'holds' can be called after T-10 - as per their flight procedures, they aborted.

Don't know for certain until they get it back inside the building. They may even launch the same day.
