"Fails" isn't very accurate -- the launch never took place, the system detected and anomaly and prevented the launch. A launch scrub isn't a failure, it's a postponement.
Also, the linked tweet doesn't call it a failure -- that's the submitter's choice of word.
- washedup 14y agoTrue, not a failure, thanks for the correction. The tweet came from Orbital Sciences, the developers of the Antares rocket. I figured this would be enough.
