Regrettably we are forced to launch on F9", which was probably what they would have chosen had they be free to do so.

At this rate, one has to wonder if SpaceX needs yet another east coast Falcon 9 pad....

Typo in the manifest. Currently it looks like this:
I wonder if SpaceX will have any "external customer" launches in May.

That's currently scheduled for May AFAIK.
