Problem At Kwaj?
They were supposed to have their engine test a few minutes ago, but they're on a hold at T-1.
[Update a few minutes later]
They haven't restarted the count, yet, but Kimbal has some pictures up. Keep checking the main page of the blog for updates.
[Update at 4:05 PM EST[
Close, but no cigar:
A few seconds before the engine ingited, the count was held.
They are now safing the vehicle and we will find out soon if they will restart the count and take it all the way to ignition.
It's sounding like a good thing that they did this test before launch. I think they're finding out how hard building and flying rockets is.

That should be "Kimbal" not "Simbal"... unless Simbal is some Moreau-esqe combination of Kimbal and Simberg...

Well, he is African. I was thinking Simba. ;-)
He probably gets that a lot.

Mr Musk stated when he started SpaceX that he did not
understand why rockets cost so much. I suspect he
is rapidly gaining this understanding.
