Do we have a SES-10 thread up yet?https://twitter.com/SES_Satellites/status/832602692287680512
Shotwell says at the press event at 39A before CRS-10 that Falcon Heavy won't launch until SLC-40 is back online. Further says, FH is NET mid-year. (Snip)Other FH news from the same event:Red Dragon on FH is officially 2020.
Quote from: old_sellsword on 02/21/2017 01:11 pmWhat's the difference between the BOOST column and the FLT column?BOOST refers to the first stage "booster" and the side cores on the Heavy. References serial numbers seen near the bottoms.
What's the difference between the BOOST column and the FLT column?

All other Red Dragon missions in first post are just speculations and should also be removed.

L2 39A schedule has updated. No target for the Static Fire yet, but the launch date [for Echostar 23] is NET March 12. Mainly to do with range availability.

Don't expect to see a Bigelow mission any time soon.It has been on the manifest since something like 2006 when it was launching on a Falcon 5.I can find the exact date if you wish.It has continuously moved out as Bigelow's business plan has moved out with commercial crew. There may have been a deposit put down but it's hardly defined.

There may have been a deposit put down but it's hardly defined.I remember a video interview of Mr Bigelow where he stated that he had made a 50k deposit towards the launch of a Falcon 1 or 5. And when SpaceX suspended that they asked him if they could keep them and move the option to a Falcon 9. And he said yes, but he appeared not to really count on that launch.I would not put it on the manifest, when and if they actually name a payload.
