    An hour & 55 mins left in the launch window.

    Much the same thing happened during the first shuttle launch.
    That's just some junk rocket they had lying around - today's a test of the capsule, not the launch vehicle. The real Orion rocket will be even bigger than the Saturn V

    Or as NASA call it, 'a ground wind launch violation'.

    Do you think someone gets paid to come up with terms like that?
