    SpaceX halts launch 10 secs before scheduled lift-off
  • SpaceX halted the launch of its second rocket about 10 seconds before its scheduled lift-off after detecting a leak in the upper stage.

    SpaceX stated they would "take a closer look at an engine actuator on the second stage." The rocket was ferrying supplies for the International Space Station.

    The company later said that the rocket was fine and was fit to fly.
