I bet it was the guy in front row on right that called the hold. Good night....

Fox and Friends reporting it has been scrubbed for 24 hrs. because of battery problems. Have some coffee.

Second stage battery problem????"

That was one of them.

They had just switched the rocket to operating on internal power and then they said something about a battery current reading which went wrong.

Great timing since both my ISP and computer crashed right afterwards.

These events all occurred because Earth's poles are losing magnetism. /just kidding

Thanks McGruff. Maybe a glass of milk and some shuteye will help me stay up for another launch tomorrow or the next time.

It sure is disappointing. It seemed that the mission was a go. They cancelled the launch so quickly, I wonder if a faulty battery reading was the sole cause.

It will also be able to spot Michael Moore from space.

LOL!
