Still a hope! They have until 6:00pm and they could even extend the window longer.
CRS-10 MISSION
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket will launch the Dragon spacecraft to low-Earth orbit to deliver critical cargo to the International Space Station for NASA. SpaceX is targeting a late morning launch of its tenth Commercial Resupply Services mission (CRS-10) from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The instantaneous launch window is on Saturday, February 18 at 10:01 a.m. EST, with a backup launch opportunity at 9:38 a.m. EST on Sunday, February 19. Dragon will separate from Falcon 9’s second stage about 10 minutes after liftoff and attach to the station roughly two days later.
The CRS-10 mission will be SpaceX’s first launch from historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. Following stage separation, the first stage of Falcon 9 will attempt to land at SpaceX’s Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.

Did you see or hear it Thunder Chicken?
Working a technical issue right now (small leak). Potential mission slip.
Not related. The helium they have been watching is with the turbopump start spin up system. It has nothing to with the TVC system. The TVC system issue only came up this morning.Reason for the scrub was the TVC issue on the 2nd stage engine mentioned yesterday. Not comfortable with launch. Next attempt will be tomorrow at 9:38am EST.

Have they ever had a launch where something didn't go wrong?
