The launch of the new Orion exploration capsule was put on hold with no current new launch time being established.  There were 3 time resets so far.  The first delay was due to a boat that strayed into the launch zone, the second was due to a fuel and drain value that did not close and the last times were due to the computers automatically stopping the countdown due strong wind with less than four minutes left in the countdown.

The unmanned Orion capsule is poised to launch for the first time atop a 243-foot United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy rocket.
