abort…

BC must be wetting his pants with excitement.

oops

Well, that was a fizzer.

Spaceius interruptus :(

Well that’s a dud

So what happened?

There should have at least been an earth shattering kaboom. North Korea is probably laughing saying well at least ours got off the ground.

BC’s probably crying into his kava.

Overpressure in a chamber, if the commentary is to be believed.

One of the engines didn’t ignite properly so the computer switched everything off. There was a brief flash as the other engines came on but they got switched off a second later.

Oh.

I think the fuse musta fallen out.

Paging BU to the launch pad…

He was probably the one that left the takeaway coffee cup in a crucial place……

Or he tripped over the extension cord on the way to the drinks cabinet.

If you have a successful launch first up you only get hundreds of thousands of people coming to your web site and looking at your advertisments once.

They look right to me, I am just a poor man of the desert, but I am The Expected One, on my cheek the……the ummm……the mole, between my teeth the space so that all men may know me and tremble before me, great and terrible thing.

The Dragon seems to be holding station on the ISS at 150m, waiting to do all the checks before docking.

Fingers crossed

about 1 hour 10 minutes to docking.

at the 30m hold, about to go foe the 10m hold and the capture with ISS’s go-go-gadget arm….
