The Antares launch was scrubbed at T-12 minutes because one of the umbilical lines to the rocket separated prematurely.
Update: in a press release Orbital Sciences now says they’ve set the tentative new launch date as no earlier than April 19.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Delays happen, hope everything goes well on the next attempt.
Can the launch be seen frm Yorktown?
Go here and scroll down to the second post for some graphics showing the launch visibility from a variety of east coast locations. They don’t include Yorktown, but the list suggests you should be able to see it from there, looking north. Get high up if you can.
Thanks, Bob.
