SpaceX Delay

As reported in this blog, SpaceX had planned a launch of its Falcon 1 rocket yesterday or today if a static fire test conducted on Saturday went well. It did, but the company announced the next attempt at launch would be no earlier than September 28.

Out of an abundance of caution, according to CEO Elon Musk, the company decided to replace one small component after the test, which is the cause of the delay.
