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.

Not happening again today, hopefully tomorrow!

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:D

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 ? :D :lol:

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 .
