I saw "scrubliner" in the live chat and had a sensible chuckle.

ISS launches are instantaneous windows. As soon as theres a hold like that it is a scrub. They were returning the vehicle to the last stable configuration in preparation for scrub operations.

On the NASASpaceflight stream they said that the internal computers took a look at everything and said, "no."
Which sounds just perfect. |

From an industry insider buddy: CFT = Can't Fucking Takeoff |

The GLS (launch computer) activated the hold due to an anomoly. PR commenter claims that mission control is looking into it....
Likely more like "no public release of scrub cause until we come up with what we want them to hear and feed the media" IMO Those people looking at the screens know what is in the green or not. At the least they know the reason for the GLS flag of HOLD. |

Someone in Boeing management realized they didn’t have enough blue-hairs in the control room.
Scrub that shit. |

Don't feel cheated on the information they have provided, it's not like the other guys stream the Command channel for 2+ hours prior to launching |

Thirteen total, when counting the four private launches (Inspiration4, Axiom 1, Axiom 2, and Axiom 3).
Impressive when compared to the Boeing missions which have so far reached an altitude to the equivalent of the elevator ride to the crew access arm, so far. |

Today's instantaneous launch opportunity at 12:25:40 p.m. EDT (1625:40 UTC) occurs when the orbital plane of the International Space Station crosses over the Atlas V launch pad. At the time of launch, the space station will be flying 260 miles over western Germany.

ULA thought they would save a little money by licensing Windows Vista software for the GLS. . . .

Quoted: Personally I think it looks even more phallic than Dr Evil's rocket or Bezos's carnival ride. But it won't be around much longer in that configuration one way or another.

Old school aero/gov people won't let it go up on SpaceX |

Quoted: The ULA rocket is really just a an off the shelf booster to get it to orbit. Old school aero/gov people won't let it go up on SpaceX View Quote Said booster is an Atlas. Which is intended to be replaced by Vulcan. Atlas uses Russian engines and they haven't been able to get more of those for a little while now. Also I think Starliner might be a bit too heavy for a Falcon 9? But I'm not certain about that. It sure would be an awkward looking configuration. In any case the crew have exited the capsule and I suppose we will just have to see what happens tommrow. |
