This morning, SpaceX had begun fueling their Falcon 9 rocket in preparation to launch supplies and experiments to the International Space Station. Early in the count, there was a slight issue with the second stage's TVC (Thrust Vector Control) system that helps "steer" the rocket in the vacuum of space. SpaceX continued moving forward with the launch and called a "hold hold hold" at T-13 second to launch to not risk anything going wrong with the second stage during flight. The next launch opportunity to the ISS is tomorrow (Sunday) morning at 9:38am EST.
