2 Seconds to go and an auto sequence abort. Dang !
I even managed to get home and have it up on the big screen.

Rescheduled for Thursday now .. I'll cross my fingers AND my toes this time.

[pluto (Hugh)]

Not happening again today, hopefully tomorrow!

[pmrid (Peter)]

They're having another go - targeting between 0130 and 0530 UTC.
Here's hoping they have a better run today.

Launch scrubbed for today due to high-level wind.
Try again tomorrow.

The Kiwi will fly again!!!

They should change its name from
"Still Testing" to "Still Resting"
Since when have the Kiwis worried about a bit of wind

I always thought NZ was a pretty poor choice of launch site: it's not called The Land of the Long White Cloud for nix!

It's the Jetstream that you guys send over causing most of the grief. Can you all stop being blowhards ?

But at least they got off their asses and tried, unlike Australia which just sets up a committee instead of using any of the perfect launch sites to get involved .
