SpaceX aborts launch after ‘odd’ rocket engine behavior1 hour ago

Miami, Feb 19 : SpaceX aborted its planned Dragon cargo launch to the International Space Station just seconds before liftoff today due to a “slightly odd” technical issue with the Falcon 9 rocket engine. The delay was made “out of an abundance of caution,” a SpaceX spokesman said, and came a day after engineers discovered a small helium leak in the engine’s second stage.
