Not happy! Not that it's any one's fault.
I tuned in at 11:00 last night (Thursday) and waited. 11:05, stupid boat on the water in the exclusion zone. 11:17, too windy. 11:44, too windy. Then with two and a half minutes on the countdown to go, the valves on the fuel supply wouldn't close or something. Reset countdown and ready to obtain new launch time, decide to cancel and abort and re-launch tonight. The time is approx 1:30am. They must have known us Australian's were watching. I have my work Christmas Dinner tonight so will miss it. Good old Youtube or NASA TV replay for me I'm afraid. I was really looking forward to it.
I really hope they can get it off the ground tonight (pun intended) and make some great inroads to space travel for the future.
