I think companies should NOT rush to launch. They should vet their processes beyond doubt. Pulling the plug on the last minute erodes public confidence.
No space competition today. Have a big question who flies first flight seven SpaceX or new Glenn never. Hope someone starts to set realistic goals. Elon was happy if he just left the pad and didn’t damage it on his first launch.
@ Most large rockets use very cold propellants. What you see is mostly ice due to the condensation of water in the air on the very cold tanks. As the rocket engines start it falls off due to the vibrations. In a rocket you need to bring not only your fuel, but also the oxidizer (oxygen) to burn it. You also need a lot of it while keeping the whole rocket as light as possible. The reason you want very cold (we call them cryogenic) propellants is to be able to store more in a smaller and lighter tank. There are two options to make the propellant take as little space as possible. If the propellant is a gas you can compress it. The issue is that then you need very strong and thus heavy tanks. The other solution is to use a liquid. However a lot of the good rocket fuels (like hydrogen) and oxidizers (like oxygen) are gases under normal conditions. The solution is to cool them enough (-183C for oxygen for example) that they become liquid and then launch the rocket before it boils off. To give you an idea of how much space you save, liquid oxygen is 861 times denser than gaseous oxygen.
A record breaking delay count
I do understand. Keep focused on your goals, and ignore the noise. Ill be waiting for coming news.
Why even have a countdown? It's a count up!
A scrub? No surprise at all from Sue Origin.
Should of known!! The Prime Rocket says next day takeoff!!!
Team needs extra time 😂 this rocket was supposed to launch four years ago
Right inline with Hawai'i rail 😮
Why bother adding time to the T-0 count? Can't get it off the ground.

Wasted my 2hrs waiting for nothing
Space X Is #1. Clearly
2.5 hours of Blah.. Blah.. and NADA...
When is the next launch ?
Non flying object
Ng means no go?
Cancelled for today ?
No. What a joke

Blue Origin doing what they do best... nothing
I think next time I look how complicated those movies are or how difficult it is to take a praline or smth somewhere bad evils
Come on NG, you can do it!
Bezos is so far behind the power curve on this that he may go broke trying to catch up with SpaceX.
Delayed Next year
High= 320 fit😢
Worthless
: Called it! LOL
Elon woulda launched
😨😨
Cry wolf❗️. 🙄
Impotence...oh the symbolism. LMAO...... Is this necessary?
Hahahahaha
Bs Origin
When the steam from the cold kicks in 🥹
You mean coal? That is funny
