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

They said the launch was reset to T -4.00

Ready to proceed to scrub procedure. They are going to remove the crew now. It's done.

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.

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.

Command channel was on the broadcast. If they saw it, we would have heard it.

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.

No worries. Anyone can miscount given the number and diverse character (Test Demo, Crew, Inspiration4, Axiom, etc.) of Dragon Crew manned launches, compared to Boeing's (0) almost 10 years after the contracts were awarded to both companies in 2014. . . .

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.

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

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.
