There was a pad abort at T-0 and the vehicle was safed. Engine
pressure was just a hair below minimum pressure, and was a software
abort. Now they are going to attempt a recycle and launch.

Has this ever been attemped before with any other launch system?
Usually it's stop everything and go over the data and tinker with the
hardware before another launch attempt is made.

Do you still think they'll recycle? Last I heard they were (if I
understood correctly) draining the propellant from the vehicle, and
the video feed just shut off.

Yes, an immediate recycle and launch attempt is now in the works.
We'll see what happens...
