How much spare oxygen do they have in that rocket? It's been sitting on the pad for quite some time now. I wonder if they will they have to refuel it.

I believe it's topped off constantly by that little tower connected to it.

It looks as if we may have experienced a shutdown condition just after ignition. In these situations the vehicle puts itself into “safe mode”. There may be the chance to “recycle” the count and try again.

Looks like they're going to restart countdown and the stream is getting worse..

We still have time in today's launch window for another attempt.

We are hearing from Mission Control that the pad abort involved an out-of-limit startup parameter.
