The schedule for crewed Dragon has slipped:

The tail-end of that article discusses a couple other issues affecting
crewed Dragon besides the launcher fueling processes.

Yeah, I saw something about that last night. Slide from the end of
2017 to May of 2018.

What did they say? The article is paywalled.

I suspect a google news search for "crewed dragon delay" will bring-up
a link you can follow without the paywall. Otherwise, the story was
also picked-up by The Register, where the comments section has some
mention of the issues affecting Crewed Dragon itself.

I Googled "crewed dragon delay wall street journal" and found the
article. I suspect Rick is referring to this paragraph:

Earlier this year, a report by NASA?s inspector general said
agency program officials expected SpaceX to ?encounter
additional delays on the path? to safety certification of its
manned transportation hardware. The report mentioned, among
other things, that cracks discovered during fabrication of a
tunnel designed to connect the Dragon 2 capsule to the space
station already had delayed qualification testing by roughly
a year. In addition, the report said the company faced
?ongoing issues with stress fractures? in a portion of its
propulsion system ?that must be resolved prior to flight.?
