CBS Space News reporting that the COTS-2/3 launch is not at 12:22 pm, but at 4:22 pm.

Are the charts for SpaceX basically saying that there will only be this one test flight this year? And the first cargo flight will be in 2013?Thanks
FRR has begun. Expecting April 30, with the only wildcard via L2 being the Range (questions about F9, scrubs, then reconfig for Atlas V, then reconfig again for F9 being a pain). Not expected to be big issue in recent days.
NASA Twitter feed now posting periodic live updates from FRR.

Sounds like one, Rob.Latest @NASA was:"Holly Ridings still presenting. Station will only have 3 crew on board during SpaceX flight, so she's talking the crew's schedule."
