Live stream of audio from mission control - launch is scrubbed until backup date (5/30)

Violating some weather rules. They think they would be ok 10 minutes past T-0:00, but decided against launching.

Someone with a science background will have to comment why they can’t push liftoff 10 minutes. I would guess it has to do with the fuel.

Very impressed with the NASA Channel coverage on TV. All other networks were pretty bad

They have to time the launch up perfectly to meet with the International Space Station.

So disappointing I’m sure for all of them! The weather officer told the astronauts that if they could have pushed the T0 to ten minutes later they probably would have made it.

Oh well, they will try again on Saturday.

Instantaneous launch window. Can't push it at all. Had to happen at 4:33.

So do they get to go home with their family tonight or do they stay isolated?

imagine the astronaut's emotions and blue balls of having a fricking rocket launch into SPACE scrubbed at the last minute

They seemed to imply that other times there may not be an instantaneous launch window. I wonder what atmospheric items factor into whether or not they can wiggle a bit with the trajectory to ISS.
