SpaceX delays rocket launch at last minuteFebruary 26, 2016 - 11:13 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - SpaceX was all set to launch a commercial broadcasting satellite Thursday, February 24 night from Cape Canaveral, Florida. But with just one minute, 40 seconds remaining in the countdown, flight controllers called for an "abort." The decision came as liquid oxygen was flowing into the unmanned Falcon 9 rocket, the Associated Press reports. There was no immediate word on when SpaceX might try again. Wednesday's attempt was also a no-go. SpaceX is still trying to recover from a launch accident last summer. Once liftoff occurs, the company will try to land the discarded first-stage booster on a barge offshore. SpaceX scored a rocket landing at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in December, but has yet to nail a trickier barge landing.
