The NASA crew aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was preparing for launch, but minutes before liftoff, mission controllers informed the crew on board that they would have to cancel the launch due to charging issues. ignition fluid on the rocket.
The problem is rare and was found during a rocket wash before launch. As astronauts wait to disembark and problematic fuel is removed from the rocket, all is not bleak, as there is another chance for liftoff in 24 hours.
The fuel issue was caused by the ground crew loading the boosters onto the rocket, as NASA commentators explained in a stream. It makes a little more sense than the fuel suddenly creating a problem with the Falcon 9 where there was none before.
