Just 5 minutes ago… But Falcon1 went into Terminal Count Abort 0.5 seconds after ignition. Email from the team relayed that pressure for the main chamber was 0.2% under the abort limit.

There was a lot of water on the pad, and cursing that I don’t think they intended to mixed into the audio link… I can only imagine the intensity of the emotions at times like this.

Update: They have now recycled the countdown to launch. You can watch the launch video here.
