Abort at T-0. Crikey!

Chris Bergin · « **Reply #155 on:** 03/20/2007 11:07 pm »

Abort with engine start, slap on T-0 it seemed.

braddock · « **Reply #156 on:** 03/20/2007 11:08 pm »

Gwynne is going to find out why they aborted.
Whew, I really thought they were going to do it there.

Someone needs to turn his mic off (a fair bit of swearing). Can't say I blame him.

I would imagine that this would be at least a 24 hr scrub just because they had an engine ignition. Seems to be a lot of expletives on the audio.
