Durin' a press briefin' at T' Kennedy Space Center on May 19, SpaceX President Gwynne Shotwell and NASA Commercial Crew and Cargo Program Manager Alan Lindenmoyer discussed t' launch abort o' t' SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon capsule on a demonstration flight t' t' International Space Station. Well, blow me down! Early data shows that high chamber pressure in Engine #5 caused a cutoff o' all nine engines at T- 0.5 seconds. SpaceX will continue t' look at t' data and inspect t' engine before settin' a new launch date. Blimey! T' next possible opportunity is May 22 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
