Launch Attempt #1 Scrubbed

Spacers Quickie

Bad weather contributed to a scrub of the first launch attempt of the Ares I-X test rocket earlier today. The four hour launch window opened at 8:00am and closed at 12:00pm EDT with no break in the weather to permit a clear viewing for vital data collection.

A second launch window opens tomorrow at the same time, and with slightly better weather prospects.
