know right now is that there was an issue with the ground launch sequencer and that is the computer that s responsible for launching this rocket. it s essentially an automated process. once you get down that close to lift off and there was some kind of problem with it. we just got a new line here that i m reading through and dissecting for further meaning. nasa says the system was it s unsuccessful in verifying the sequencers necessary redundancies. so hopefully we ll learn a bit more about what that means at this 3pm presser, but it sounds like this was not a nasa issue. sounds like it was not a boeing issue. sounds like it it wasn t even an issue with the weather. most likely it was united launch alliance issue that s an important distinction given all the scrutiny that s been facing boeing leading up to this launch for those that don t know, this is the vehicle that was supposed to be launching today this tiny capsule on top that s all bowing is
