One of the many reasons NASA failed to launch the Ares 1-X today. This is the full length version as the pad crew struggled to pull the probe cover off with the long string from on top of the mobile service structure. Once they finally got it loose, they had to descend to ground level and return to the safe zone away from the pad. Thus causing further delays and missing the weather window.
Don't hold your breath. I doubt you'll see this fly again.
