Bummer. I was hoping to see some neat footage of the moon.

Called it. Boeing can't do anything right. Furthermore, the SRBs are way past their expiration date: https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceLaunchSystem/comments/rfu32c/does_anyone_know_how_much_longer_we_have_on_life/ https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceLaunchSystem/comments/rfu32c/d... And the fuel and oxygen tanks are only rated for 9 fills which, while I don't have an exact figure, I believe they are close to if not exceeded with this most recent fill and scrub. They can't afford another mistake.

  There are some real NASA fanatics on this site. You laid out some very interesting and useful information about the limits of the vehicle and its parts and they just down vote you for no reason other than their ideology.

    Hypothesis: the downvotes are not for the information presented, but for the unnecessary and ideological "can't do anything right".

    I'm actually being upvoted quite a bit. Seems this scrub has changed people's opinions.

Seems to be 2 issues: Engine 3 is not properly being conditioned through the bleed process, and engineers are troubleshooting. Teams also are assessing what appears to be a crack in the thermal protection system material on one of the flanges on the core stage. The flanges are connection joints that function like a seam on a shirt, are affixed at the top and bottom of the intertank so the two tanks can be attached to it.
