"SpaceX did not conduct a static test fire of the Hawthorne, California-based aerospace firm’s Falcon 9 v1.2 rocket today (Wednesday Dec. 16). This means the oft-stated Saturday Dec. 19 launch attempt, the first for the v1.2 version of the F9, and the return-to-flight mission for the rocket – will likely take place on a later date."

Argh. :(

Spaceflight insider has no idea.  in that article they state that they can do a two day turn around to launch.  They just wanted to be the first to post the news.  I have it from a Landing engineer at SpaceX that the launch should still be Saturday if the Static Fire goes well.

SpaceX's lack of transparency is very frustrating.  If this was a NASA launch there would already have been a briefing and news conference explaining what is (or is not) happening.

SpaceX please think of the Space Nerds!
