Aborted Launch

Allen Fredrickson

Milwaukee Journal

The main engines of the space shuttle Discovery ignited briefly then were shut down four seconds before lift-off on June 27, 1984 setting the space shuttle program back two months. This was the second time in the history of the United States manned space program that main engine ignition had occurred followed by an abort.
