They must've screwed up and uplinked the current 622 software by mistake...or used the same hardware vendors.

"Sea Launch EchoStar X Mission Halted

Sea Launch today halted the launch of the EchoStar X communications satellite. Following the direction to stop the countdown, the launch team immediately implemented system safing and securing operations. Sea Launch will provide additional information, as available, on this website. Information will also be recorded on the Sea Launch Hot Line at 800.995.4123. "

Sounds like it is done for today

101 was saying Launch platform issues, not an issue with the rocket or payload.

I guess it's not the rocket's "issue" if the platform is sinking...

Here in Kona we have high wind warnings out. 50 mph gusts

I know the launch site is pretty far away but the winds might be causing the problem.
