Problem cancels moon rocket test firing in Utah
August 27th, 2009 @ 1:39pm

PROMONTORY, Utah (AP) -- A mechanical failure forced a NASA contractor on Thursday to call off the first test firing of the main part of NASA's powerful new moon rocket.
The test has not been rescheduled.
Alliant Techsystems Inc. called off the rocket burn with just 20 seconds left on the countdown clock. Operators cited hydraulic failure. (Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

Now is that fair son?:dontknow:

When you consider the complexity of something like this, a delay is not that uncommon. And considering the consequences of what could happen if something went wrong, they probably made the right decision.
