	I read that this will be Falcons heaviest lift to date. the loading temp of the fuel needs to be a chilly -340F to get the most out of it. SpaceX began using a new kind of fuel with its upgraded Falcon 9 rockets last December, which now run on deep cryo liquid oxygen (LOX)http://www.businessinsider.com/spacex-to-launch-a-rocket-this-sunday-2016-2

	..."Launch aborted on low thrust alarm. Rising oxygen temps due to hold for boat and helium bubble triggered alarm."... We had a boat enter the keep out zone.... __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life

	It was kind of cool to see them shut it down after ignition with no ill effects. __________________ Knowing is the end result of learning, not believing.
