This pretty new document by NASA, provided in https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2018/03/cislunar-station-new-name-presidents-budget/ shows six Commercial Crews flights in the fiscal year 2019 (October 2018 - September 2019). Am I wrong or have I missed something, I thought only maximum of four flights are planned in this timeframe.
Updated commercial crew slide from KSC Director Cabana's presentation today; appears to be as expected. Uncrewed Boeing and SpaceX flights in August, crewed in November and December, respectively. More details in photo.

The slides from the March 26, 2018 CCP program update
Quote from: gongora on 03/26/2018 11:51 pmThe slides from the March 26, 2018 CCP program updatePlease note: the status update for Starliner and Crew Dragon describes the status per late February, 2018. Meaning that the slides are already a month out-of-date, given that things are moving very quickly for both CCP providers.

I don’t get it...we keep being told here the schedules are out of date, and that major slips are going to occur. But, every official communication coming out from Leuders and others recently are continuing to stick with the official dates for this year, including some only a few days old. Are the certification concerns, raised previously, overblown, or what is going on? Contractors say they are tracking right on schedule.
An update on commercial crew:
It would be great if we have some context for this: who, where, when, etcAlso the video category is "Comedy"?
