Shuttle launches used to cause miles of traffic backups extending well outside the gates of NASA's Cape Canaveral launch facilities; for all the buzz around the first private launch to the ISS, today's launch attempt was much more sparsely attended. In a small set of bleachers set up near the massive countdown clock, there were a few dozen enthusiasts and reporters aiming their cameras and binoculars at the launch site on the horizon. They counted down in time with the clock, and — just like NASA's own announcer — reached all the way to "liftoff." There was a brief flash as the engines ignited, but it died as fast as it appeared. It took only a few seconds for the crowd to realize that it was all over for today's shot. While the company's organization remain upbeat, pointing out that the system software worked as intended to stop a launch before anomalies turn into catastrophes, most of those on hand to see what they'd hoped to be a considerable launch were a bit glum as they walked back to the parking lot and the press area — especially the ones who can't stay until the next try.
