Indeed, the decision was to roll back the rocket to the VAB. Safer for the thing, and by now, they probably have to replace the batteries in the safety system anyway.

In other space news, though, did people watch the feed of the DART mission? Some spectacular images just before impact, and the test was successful in that it it an object only about 200m (660ft) in diameter at a distance of 9+1/2 months' travel time. The total effect still won't be known until we analyze data from ground-based observations (and possibly a few from Hubble & JWST.)
