For a progressive approach, before going to a paying customer, wouldn't it make sense to use one such stage for the Crew Dragon inflight abort test?
Surely the insurance companies will influence this. Is the risk associated with the first flight uninsurable?
Voted Q1 2017. No one yet lost bet on SpaceX being late.
If a re-used core were used for the in flight abort test, would that count as a paying customer? It is a contract milestone paid for by NASA...
