Actually 1934 may be Fritz's year for the missing mass problem ie. what we now dub as 'dark matter'. He spotted that luminous matter as seen by us does not explain gravitational effects as seen by us.
Cheers, Mike.

now there is an "engine core" issue - monitors engine temps. Again. Stay tuned.
Weather Channel JUST said launch will be at 26 after the hour, 4 -5 minute from now. Orion is now on internal power for the first time today, everything so far is a 'go'.
Uh oh another 'stopped clock', due to a 'fuel valve' issue.
Still at least 10 more minutes, they are still checking the 'fill and drain valves' on the booster tanks. One was sticking the last time they cycled them. They only have about an hour left before the 'launch window' closes for today, that means the landing site won't be where they are waiting anymore.

They just said that if it doesn't work today they will try again tomorrow, about 40 minutes left to go today. About 5 to 10 minutes left to 'cycle' the valves, so plenty of time left to still launch today if they get things fixed.

Holding on Orion. The countdown was on "hold" because of wind, but now there is an "unacceptable" alarm which they are investigating.
[edit] 4 minute hold and restart countdown for 0755 launch.

Phoenix Rising
Out of my ashes
will rise a new phoenix.
A soaring being
returning from death
proving once again
that life is eternal.
I live forever
because the spirit
never dies.
I will return
in another body
in another time,
but it is me.
The me who is me now
will always be.
As long as I live,
I learn.
And I live
