Turns out... you can't predict the weather that far in advance ;)  His craft kept him safe as designed and the decision to abort was based on how long he'd have to endure the current weather system under the human factors that can't be "planned for."  He was unable to eat due to illness and the weather wasn't forecast to let up for a number of days.  I feel like it was a well-funded, well-planned attempt at a very challenging endeavor -- only 1 other person has ever done this, if I remember correctly.  Sometimes you fail when you try to do things that are super challenging.

Yup, and if you never fail, perhaps things are too easy!
