Out for the count

Posted by Linh Phung on September 07, 2008 at 10:33

I don't understand the meaning of the phrase "out for the count". The whole sentence is "While the Boxer rocket building makes progress, the Hale rocket is out for the count because Jamie's made an error of schoolboy proportions." So if anyone has the idea, pls help me.
