Excerpt. Only this much of the email has been made public.

The static fire has moved to Friday (California time) and launch to Monday, January 22. We have not encountered any new issues – the shift in timing is primarily to provide for additional risk reduction activities on site, as we continue to operate with a healthy paranoia.

About this email

A short note on the SpaceX site moves the Demo Flight 2 static fire to Friday and the launch to Monday January 22, saying no new problems were found and the extra time is for risk reduction.
