SpaceXs Historic Launch Aborted Less Than A Second Prior To Launch
"Entering terminal count autosequence. 60 seconds to engine fire. #DragonLaunch," Tweeted Elon Musk as his space company was less than a minute away from it's historic flight. But the launch didn't happen. Nothing happened as Long-time NASA commentator George Diller counted down the seconds, "3..2..1......We've had a cutoff. Liftoff did not occur." Musk tweeted 11 minutes later at 5:06am EDT, "Launch aborted: slightly high combustion chamber pressure on engine 5. Will adjust limits for countdown in a few days."Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/tG0JLt6h7hc/
