Scrubbed due to engine bleed temperature issue. Sounds like this was a point of concern, but also something that was specifically tested during the dress rehearsal. More debugging being done on the pad (not defueling yet), but no going to space today.
Given the number of delays I would not be surprised at all if the launch is called off. Better to fix things properly than to risk a blow-up, which may well be the end of the program.<p>BTW: from a casual point of view it looks suspiciously like a shuttle launch stack without the shuttle.<p>edit: it looks like it has been scrubbed

I can't even imagine the stress of the engineers when they hear there is a problem.<p>I get anxiety just when the DEV pipleline fails after my change.
I suppose while we wait, we can discuss the value of NASA doing manned flight vs private enterprise, which is the point of the Economist article:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32636643" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32636643</a>
Sad to see it scrubbed, but I hate that this is becoming the expectation on this thing.<p>More and more I have to wonder how long they will continue to work on this and just cut their losses?<p>At some point this isn't just a money sink but is a bad look and I worry can put doubt on space and NASA in general?
It’s fun to see nasa “facts” vs others. The nasa “countdowns” are comically unreliable - when you get to x minutes left in the countdown there are NOT x minutes left. They should just call their stuff phases.<p>Listening to nasa administrator Nelson go on about how effective SLS is - also a bit mind warping. On what measure?<p>The Biden admin has some bug going on about spaceX - Kathy got demoted / sidelined a bit at NASA after doing commercial crew - she or many others in nasa far better administrators. Instead we get sn old white guy Nelson - and I’m an old white guy. His claim to fame is sls support. Ugh
