Another scary thought, kinda on topic since it's about space.. don't think it's really big enough to get it's own topic:

P.S. Max, if you want this removed just ask!

"The majority of mind-boggling questions are better left unanswered."

Not really. If the majority of "mind-boggling" questions had been left unanswered, we would still be living in caves with no way to connect with far away places other than walking hundreds of miles there. Where would we be today without Albert Einstein? Sure, some of his work was used to make the most deadly and powerful weapon to date, but a lot of his work has been used to expand our understanding of the universe. Everything bad must have a good counterpart; even if we can't see the good counterpart for a long time, it will always eventually show itself to us.

True... but what will happen when we find aliens and they come to earth and attack us? What will be the good counterpart then? That humanity goes extinct?

The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is going for another attempt to launch this evening.  Right now they are at T-13:00 and holding.  They had an engine shutdown at T-2 seconds about 15 minutes ago, but it looks like they are going to try again.  You can watch the countdown live at:

Go Falcon 9!

Could be any number of things.  Each system (prop, avionics, power, etc.) has redline limits that are set prior to beginning the launch day countdown.  If anyone of those systems exceeds the pre-established redline, the system test engineer calls a hold, or if they are in the terminal part of the countdown, they call an abort.  There have been substantial upgrades to this vehicle, so having holds or aborts isn't unusual.  Better to catch a problem before lift-off.
