Firefly Space Systems, a Texas company developing a small launch vehicle, has furloughed its entire staff after an investor backed out, forcing the firm to consider alternative vehicle concepts or even a sale of the company. In a brief statement posted to its Twitter account Sept. 29, Firefly Space Systems said a recent "setback in funding" forced the company to "take necessary action to maintain cash-flow equilibrium and position our company for future success." Firefly did not elaborate on its situation other than tweeting a photo of company employees Sept. 30 with the caption, "Owners and management are so honored to have such a dedicated and committed team."
