Quote from: russianhalo117 on 11/19/2016 03:14 amBoth Bartolomeo and Bishop are vying for the SpX-19 and initial Dragon V2 for a ride. Bishop appears to be gaining ground to officially take the SpX-19 slot from Bartolomeo as SpX-19 cargo is marked for US payloads first then other member nations second.Regarding Dragon 2 Demos, how does payload contracting work? They're just "milestones", right? So does that mean NASA automatically gets cargo slots on those missions, or would it require a separate contract/agreement with SpaceX ultimately retaining ability to carry whatever it wants? Do American payloads still have priority?

Boe and Sunita L. WilliamsMust be a typo. Doubt it There would have to be two matching uncaught errors.We know that the first Dragon will be used for the in-flight abort, not the first occupied flight.It looks like "DM-1" and "OM-1" and are not referring to "demo" vs "operational" "mission". It could be "module" or some such vehicle identifier. That would go with the Boeing identifiers of "OFT-1" and "OFT-2"
