Answer:

Many speculation exists for why the term 'scrubbed' is used in relation to launches. <em>One of these is that during world war II, when the Air force planned bombing raids</em>. These  Air force missions had their briefings done with illustration of the details of the launch and and flight drawn on chalkboards. <em>When some of mission flight takeoffs were canceled (due to bad weather or a malfunction or other reasons) the details were then scrubbed off of the chalkboard</em>. This idea of the mission <em>being scrubbed meaning that it is no longer to be followed through with</em>, proceeded to this modern day rocket and aviation launches.
