LOMPOC, Calif., July 1 (UPI) -- NASA's rocket engineers only had a 30-second window to launch its Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 spacecraft into the proper orbit. But at the last second, a problem was detected and, understandably, controllers weren't able to diagnose and repair the defect in just half of a minute.
With the 30-second window quickly come and gone, NASA was forced to abandon the launch.
