LOL but there's no budget for a moon mission anyway. Nice test, but that rocket's greatest achievement will be to wind up in a museum somewhere

Scrubbed the test today too. I've been to many of these tests from the Shuttle days. You wait for hours and then they cancel it at the last moment because of some glitch. I feel for the poor kids waiting to watch with no payoff.

Keep in mind, this is the smaller rocket that will just get a crew into space, to the ISS, etc. It's not for a moon shot.
