The launch was called off at just 16 minutes and 54 seconds before the launch time.
The mission had an instantaneous launch window, which meant that the flight was scheduled to launch exactly at 4:33 p.m. with no potential to extend the window. The weather violations included natural lightning and the strength of the electric field in the atmosphere."Thank you to @NASA and @SpaceX for their hard work and leadership. Look forward to being back with you on Saturday!," tweeted President Donald Trump, who was at Kennedy Space Center for the launch.
Vice President Mike Pence, who is chairman of the National Space Council, was also at Kennedy Space Center Wednesday and will be returning with President Trump for Saturday's launch.
