[background sounds] we are coming up on just under an hour since tzero. If you are just joining us well we have been here summing up for her while. Stand by for a status check. The team is still working to do the hatch inflation. Expect another five to 10 minutes. Okay. We scrubbed at tminus three minutes and 54 seconds. The weather finally cleared up but it was long after the planned tzero priebus spacex ingress team did return t to the pad and sent the road walks around the pad demarcating where the area is. As you just heard spacex and doug areb working the seal around dragon to make sure the dragon capsule pressures equalized with a crew arm and then well go into the hatch opening sequence. Or have several more minutes and we will carry that as we go. A couple of points to bring up. Once the crew comes off of the dragon and comes back down and goes back to the crew quarters we will be leaving. Thats good. That will get them into the sequence to make sure t the pressure inside and outside. This will equalize cabin pressure so you may notice something. Okay, thanks. They are were starting to mention that once everybodyrt is off we will leave the falcon ix dragging through where they are in the launch position. Theres no plan to come back down to horizontal. The vehicle is designed to stay vertical and now if we were to find something wrong during the countdown in the data review that could mean we tap to come horizontal like we did late last night or early this morning working on the ground issue. Currently no plans to come horizontal. We will stay vertical up to the next launch attempt on saturday in there will also be as typical engineers will go through the data they collected today and then there will be what is called a delta launch readiness review probably friday before we get into the next launch on saturday and we will bring management in chief engineer and launch director Mission Director of ther nasa counselor on where we stand on todays countdown, what we learned as well as proceeding into another countdown attempts. Currently at the Kennedy Space center is at 39a getting ready for the hatch opening and the crew to leave the dragon and come back down to get out of their suits and wait for another day hopefully this coming saturday to launch. Dragon spacex vehicles hatch open. Davey ds are now open and petrol injection is complete. We heard it and copy all. [background sounds] [background sounds] [background sounds] [background sounds] in the dragon spacex team is working in the hatch opening now. Copy. [background sounds] [background sounds] john at the webcam desk and hawthorne california. We have got another camera up and you can see the sidebyside view on the monitor at bob and doug inside waiting for theit hatch to come open. We are still in the middle of an equalization step to make sure the pressure insiden the dragon is equal to the external ambient treasure so when we open the hatch becomes open without any extra force. You can also see the space Incident Team is up alongside the capsule. They are removing essentially the thermal protection devices. For example if you have a door handle if youre going to have to reenter from outer space you will have to put a small heat shield over that door t handle otherwise any preacher francis the cavity could be subject to burnout so they are taking their time making sure we get all of the thermal protection Safety Devices off so they can then get access and go c ahead and bring the hatch open. If you are watching on the monitor the egress team going through the steps. Thisis is typical. We are not hearing any chatter. They just take their time that made sure that everybody is ready to bring the hatch open when they finally get there. Apparently we are t plus one hour and 11 minutes or so since the planned launch. Obviously we are still on the ground going through the postscrub operations to bring the astronauts doug hurley and bob behnken out of the capsule and you can see now the hatch is coming open. There is the view from the camera inside the capsule. You can see the hatch area and the crew giving a quick wave to the ground crew when they came open and right now they should eat expecting the area underneath seats so that we can command the seats to rotate back into the ingress egress positio. To make it easier on bob and doug to get and then out of the seats. [background sounds] dragon spacex just for awareness they have a few more steps in their procedure and they should be calling for see rotation shortly. Okay, copy that. As a leadin to that we are ready. Just let us know when you aree ready. A confirmation from the dragon team talking to the astronauts that they are just about ready to send the see rotation command. Again the ground crew is verifying making sure none of the cargo that is in the dragon underneath the crew, nothing is in the way and nothing came loose. They are looking at one road crew seating but as we have mentioned before dragon is designed to carry up to seven but on this flight for example much t of the cargo they were carrying is loaded in various areas down below where the astronauts are seated so they are verifying nothing is in the way so whene they get the rotation command the seats will pivot without any problem. [inaudible conversations] [background sounds] [background sounds] dragon spacex we are initiating see rotation. Dragon copy. We are ready. A callout from the dragon court up to the crew letting them know that we are sending command from the ground to rotate the seats and you can see astronauts doug hurley and top behnken, rotating in their seats to a more comfortable position to get in and out of the capsule. The dragon spacex seats are up right. Thanks for the valiant effort today. We will see you saturday. We appreciate those words. Everybody did great today. It was a great practice and we will do it again on saturday. Stay safe and we will talk to you. Likewise. There we heard it they have gotten rotated and the hatch is open. The ground crew is going to work to get the astronauts out. The Spacex Dragon team is going to be coming off of the capsule now returning to the folks on the pad. It was a pretty good countdown and scrub sequence so we got that good Lesson Learned under our belts and we look forward to saturday having even better results when we get close tose tzero. Its a is grateful we dontt have any issues with the capsule which we didnt today. We will be doing the same on saturday looking at a 50 probability of violation. We did see was just a matter of trying to line up correctly and didnt make it today but we will try again on saturday. Its a is like we were just about half an hour away from makingin the launch attempt tody with a 50 whether chance on saturday. We have a better day at tzero for liftoff. We are deftly going to ill be back myselflf and john will e here and hawthorne to take you along every step of the way. We hope everyone else tunes and also because its really going to be monumental moment. We are looking at saturday to launch the u. S. Astronauts out of unamerican rockets on american soil. With them getting out of the capsule thats going to do it for us a here at hawthorne. We will send you back down to florida for one last check in with her team there. So if you are still sitting around we will look forward to saturday. Thanks a lot and. We are just sitting here and we watched bob behnken climb out of his feet and knees out of the crew dragon and doug hurley following suit, no pun intended. Now we see bob in the foreground and doug climbing out of the dragon background. The Closeout Team looks like helping l them out so any minute j are going to be basically just reversing course and coming back from winds they came. Leland i know you had a scrub years back. Marie in 2008 we were having breakfast and it was scrubbed while i was in the vehicle but we were having breakfast and we got a call through the flight director saying that we had an engine cutoff sensors that were bad. Two were bad and the flight rules say you have to have three or four to fly so we all said we are going to fly unless we have all of them. We need to know the flight rules are to protect their astronauts and their families and we got very close today and sometimes we get launch fever and we want to go ahead and try anyway but we have these rules for a reason r d its really important to stick to the rules even with dignitaries here. Its just the way we have to do itre as operators. We went through exercise of all the sitins systems nearly two tzero which is incredible. An and doug are sitting on top of the vehicle with the fuel rocket so thats pretty cool, closing the hatch and looking at the environment a lifesupport system doing a flight leak check. All of this is a time of learning that came out of here even if we didnt ultimately launch. We are getting a cool view that we would have seen if they had launched making their way down the arm and they are going to be turning the corner there heading to the stairs it will take him to the elevator. They are heading down the stairs now down to the fifth 55foot level and then they will be getting into the elevator taken down to the ground level. And we will do it again d on saturday. Its actually very reassuring that all systems were go and there were no problems with the vehicle at all. As you said it was just some weather and i think if we have a good performance on saturday and the weather gives us some good juju we will be good to go. Yes, please. We were so close today. We had 10 more minutes and it sounded like we probably would have made it but it was not to be today. Of course we want to do what is the safest thing for the crew. As they head to the elevator there we want to go over to operations and support building where the nasa administrator is standing by and he would like to provide his own thoughts now. We will go to him. Thank you murray. I know theres a lot of disappointment today. The weather got us but i also want to say it was a great day for nasa and a great day for spacex. I think our teams Work Together in a really impressive way making good decisions all along. Here in this particular case wee had simply too much electricity in the atmosphere. There wasnt really a Lightning Storm or anything like that but there was a concern that if we did launch it could actually trigger lightning. We made the right decision. We have the parameters set ahead of time and the teams working together and in the end the right decision was made. I will tell you ive done a lot of interviews over the last two days and in those interviews i get asked over and over again is their undue pressure here . People say to me with all the attention of the world on this launch about the vips coming are you going to feel pressured on this launch an i wille tell you as i have told our team under no circumstances should anybodyss feel pressure. If we are not ready to go we simply do not go. I will tell you i am proud, so proud of our teams working together to make the right decision in this particular case. We have a lot to look forward to. In just a few short days on saturday, saturday afternoon we are going to do it again. Heres what were know. We are going to launch american astronauts on american rockets from american soil. We are going to do that. We are very close. They also want to say this was an important milestone just today. We did a wet dress rehearsal. We havent done a wet dress rehearsal with their astronauts in full gear before. Ro we have done a dry dress rehearsal and now we have done a wet dress rehearsal so we have learned a lot. This is no different and we get a lot of great data from doing what we do here. Today was a good day. It was a good day for spacex and we have a lot to look forward to. I want to say congratulations tl both of the teams and lets go get this done. Know we are up for it could saturday is going to f be a gret day and here we go again. Thank you to everybody for allry the great work creamery, back to you. Thank you so much foruc those words and great words from Jim Bridenstine the nasa administrator. Crew will remain in quarantineil until saturday. Theyve been in quarantine for two weeks and there they will stay to keep them safe and healthy for the next launch attempt. Again we have tota stand down fm lunch today because of unfavorable weather conditions along Launch Complex 30a and we will do it again saturday may 30. The new launch time will be 3 22 p. M. And our coverage will begin live right here on nasa tv at 11 00 in the morning eastern time saturday so sure to tune back in on Nasa Television and nasa. Gov live if you want to watch on line and we will be b back here to take you through at every step of the way through things for sticking with us and we will see you back here saturday. Nasa and spacex have decided to cancel todays launch to the International Space station from the Kennedy Space center in florida because of weather concerns. This would have been the first space launch with astronauts from u. S. Soil since 2011. Its rescheduled for this saturday may 30 and we will have live coverage
