First issue of the day appears to be with range control abort system. Feed cut as they were trying to explaining it, so not exactly sure where the problem is.

SpaceXNews says "The Range is addressing an FTS issue with shuttle era equipment being retrieved from the VAB to verify it"

Instead of stopping the vehicle... it blows it up

It's more like a bomb. The FTS system triggers a self-destruct on the rocket after the crew have escaped using the abort escape system.

Hopefully the crew reads from Genesis when they get to the moon like Apollo 8

There doesn't seem to be a lot of negativity...yet, but as you could probably guess, an unresolved issue with the FTS would certainly scrub the flight and almost certainly require a rollback to the VAB and thus kill the April launch window.

It sounds like they have a patch fix to verify it that they are trying out.
It’s encouraging that they haven’t paused the countdown.

They’re gonna scrub it.
We could go a hundred years ago but not today.

I seem to recall they had a similar issue with Artemis 1 but could be mistaken

The moon is what causes women's periods. Big risk sending one there.

LoL. They'll probably quote Ta Nehisi Coates or some other such drivel. God forbid they use the good book.

And they’re sending a woman to it?
She could bleed out.
