I would never have put money on their launching on February 7th, the current official target date, and now my instincts are confirmed with a brief release from the company:

In preparation for the upcoming launch, SpaceX continues to conduct extensive testing and analysis.

We believe that there are a few areas that will benefit from additional work and will optimize the safety and success of this mission.

We are now working with NASA to establish a new target launch date, but note that we will continue to test and review data. We will launch when the vehicle is ready.

Hard to know if that means a week delay, or a month, or more. But it’s definitely better not to rush it; it’s a very important mission for the future of affordable spaceflight.

There’s a story over at IBD about the new players. But has the Dragon flight to ISS slipped already? I though it was February 7th, not the 12th.
