Hold-down release problem. Opposite of what happened to China's Space Pioneer's not-so-static static fire the other day. Of the two, I would opt for Firefly's problem.

I just saw that video, and yes, I think the firefly's problem is slightly more preferable.

I hadn't actually figured they'd launch tonight, but fortunately a friend who works at Firefly clued me in. I love how this mission is going. Like clockwork so far.
