Darn!

Coming that close, the restart of the next countdown is harder. Water flush systems were running, rocket tanks were topped off and cooled down, internal power had been on for a bit. Takes a while to get everything ready to get “ready to restart”.

To me it looked like the boosters discolored, like a burn inside blistering the paint.
What you think?

Pushing the launch back, just to be safe, is a whole lot cheaper than building another version of everything after an explosion.

I thought rocket launches had become routine 40 years ago.
