Jim Bridenstein:
A lot of disappointment today, the weather got us.  Great day for SpaceX/NASA.  Teams worked in an impressive way, great teamwork.  There was a bit too much electricity in the air, no lightning around us - but if we launched, we could have triggered a strike.
Being asked about undue pressure: Under no circumstances, we should not feel pressure.  If we are not ready to go, we should not go.  Proud of teams working together to make the right decision.
Here's what we know:  We are going to launch American astronauts, from American soil.  We are very close.  Today was a big milestone, a wet dress rehearsal.  We haven't done this before.  We learn a lot each time we do these things - got a lot of great data from doing what we just did.  Good day for NASA/SpaceX, and have a lot to look forward to.
