SpaceX scrubbed the scheduled launch of a communications satellite from Cape Canaveral, Fla., for the second day in a row Monday, saying it hopes to blast off Tuesday — potentially putting all other other Fourth of July rockets to shame. Sunday’s launch was canceled just 9 seconds before liftoff after a computer ordered the mission to abort. On Monday, Elon Musk’s SpaceX tweeted that the launch would be put off for at least one more day: “Standing down today due to a violation of abort criteria, vehicle/payload in good health, next launch opportunity tomorrow, July 4th!” Unlike recent launches, the Falcon 9 rocket — when it does lift off — will not land and be reused, since the heavier payload will require it to use all its fuel for the launch itself.
