With just a minute and forty-one seconds to go before SpaceX was to embark on its latest launch mission<\/a> yesterday,\u00a0\u00a0launch controllers decided to put a hold on the countdown. Sometimes a hold is just a temporary delay, but in this instance it led to the mission being scrubbed entirely. No new launch date has been announced.<\/p>\n

The delay occurred because of a technical issue while the launch team was loading\u00a0super-chilled liquid oxygen propellant into the rocket\u2019s first and second stages, according to Fortune.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cPreliminary (information) is that we were \u2026 looking at how much time we had left in the count to finish loading the liquid oxygen, and at that time the launch team decided that we would need to hold the countdown,\u201d\u00a0 SpaceX commentator John Insprucker said during the live launch webcast.
