- For most of the year (i.e. through the end of July) there is considerable disagreement about whether FH will fly before year end.
Apparently we have become less optimistic in a year's time, not more as one might suspect, given the progress at the launch pad
it will become obsolete and be scrapped before it is ever taken to a launch pad.
In fact, there was a poll on FH one year ago. 186 out of 211 people thought it would not only launch in 2015 but do so successfully.

That story is quite relevant. Because SpaceX didn't choose Falcon 9 over Falcon 5 on its own. SpaceX needed to be pushed into it....

The 2015 poll took place 2 years ago, not 1 year ago. 1 year ago and everyone would already have known that the FH didn't launch in 2015.(snip)
