   Snidely presented the following explanation :   
   > Stayed up through the attempt to get SN7.1 to fail.  After the scrub, just   
   > before I shutdown my screen, I thought I saw SN7.1  being craned back onto   
   > the launchstand with the thrust simulator, and I thought the LabPadre steam   
   > yesterday showed it there, but currently SN7.1 seems to be back on the   
   > transport stand.  Next attempt on the 21st (9pm CDT 0200 UTC).

   > Did I really see the move?  If so, this is probably because the transport   
   > stand or the improvised GSE needed repairs.  NSF reported that the LN2 feed   
   > was not directly from the tank farm, but via Pad A (to the left in the usual   
   > views, not the stand with the thrust simulator).  There was a lot vapor   
   > clouds during the start-up of the two loading attempts on the 17th; they must   
   > not have interfered with SpaceX's view, but for us viewers it sure produced a   
   > lot of gasps.

   > The second attempt was apparently stopped due to a visible spark, speculated   
   > to be a cable being wind-whipped over some upper-ring fittings.   
   >   
   > The downpour may have reached a level to obscure SpaceX's view, as they   
   > didn't attempt another load after the rain came in buckets, even though there   
   > may have been enough time left in the window.   
      
   Popped on the third night of testing.  In contrast to SN7, SN7.1 popped   
   at the top, like a champagne bottle.
