I like all these predictions, but a question for the mods...Is there a cutoff date for this? [1] Or will this thread become like the hiring of the next NASA Administrator [2]...?[1] I have an idea, let’s create a prediction thread to predict when the prediction thread will be closed . [3][2] I.E., lasting well into 2018[3] Of course, then we’ll have to have a prediction thread that will predict when the prediction thread of when the prediction thread of when the prediction thread will close. [1][4][4] You’re welcome Lar, though of course the irony is that this footnote will never get hit, so you’ll (justly)[5] never get your thank you.[5] Justly because of all the infinite recursive loops you’ve created over time with no concern for the consequences...
One of my predictions already bit the dust. No LEGO shuttle, the Ideas Shuttle stack did not get approved.
Well, looks like those of you who said Google Lunar XPrize will be won were wrong, as were those of you who thought it would be delayed. The GLX is over.However, if you made a prediction as to how many will fly, like I did, there is hope yet!

Exactly 100 successful orbital launches worldwideSo does the Ariane launch count as a success?? That old dilemma. Does the Zuma launch count as a success? We're either at 10, 11 or 12 successes - which is it?
10. Zuma is a failure (as far as we can tell). We can go in circles about whose failure it was, but it was a failure. The Ariane launch is a partial failure - separation was no where near the intended orbit.
