Irrespective of what nationality you belong to, the phrase "second try" means same to all. Second try is confusing and misleading, it means you failed on the first try, although the word failure is different to all. If you think a technical snag in a space program which involves a lot of complexity means a project failure then I don't blame you for liking the article but for the majority of the people who understand the level of complexity in such program are less critical on the delays and snags.

Second try at launching... that is literally what happened. I feel like you are just projecting with your interpretation. Second try means literally that... a second attempt. Which is exactly what happened because technical issues forced them to abort on the first attempt...
