T minus zero means out of time.. This comes from a countdown convention used in by both the American military and NASA. Generally, it is used when counting down to a major event that will happen at a specific time. Mathematically, T is time, minus whatever amount of time is left until the event happens.
Abigail from Pembroke Pines: I've heard that during a launch countdown the T in T minus does not stand for Time.. If so, what does the T really mean? You hear us talk in the Launch Control Center about T-9 minutes, T-20 minutes, etcetera. And so the assumption is that T stands for time.
