Ares I-X test launch

Another hold.

Aborted. Usually means they found an unexpected condition/fault during final checks. A lot of those happen just prior to launch.

... or it could be weather. Just what they feared might happen.

The clock reset button will fail in a minute

I can't seem to get this to work. The stream won't play in WMP11 or VLC and the NASA TV link doesn't play anything back. I've tried Opera, Firefox and IE8. :confused:

EDIT:-

Your input can't be opened:

Cut-off due to weather.

Think we just need somebody to press the GO button now....

Is it just me or it the 1200Kbs link just a black box with some white noise?

If it was no go due to weather, why didn't the weather officer stop it during the hold?

They like to mess with us

Must be a finicky craft to not be able to launch with clouds :confused:

As if that rocket is going to get us to Mars if we are stopped by a bit of light cloud!

For those with problems opening the 1200kbps link try opening this url (copy & paste) within the media player of your choice:

mms://68.180.128.155/nqsenc005?StreamID=92270818&pl_auth=b1e38d22f7be58a6b5cb84f91dc752cd&ht=120&b=fvbril5542lba4ae6fbba&CG_ID=1368163

I get the stream links from here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NASA_TV#Internet_feeds

They work more often than not.

There is possible 15 minute clearing in the clouds in around an hour. Not looking very good.
