Given the density of the propellants that would mean 4-6 cubicmeters of fuel?

We are wandering from the manifest, even though we are working on a datum in a far right column.How do you get 4-6 m^3?

IRDM CEO: Slight SpaceX delay to mid-Sept is one-time issue, SpaceX says wont recur in Dec launch (need 3 mnths between 1st & 2d launches).
Iridium’s Matt Desch: SpaceX has assured me they will have rockets available for our launches every 60 days next year.

Are there plans for designating flights the will or have used a reflown core?If not, I suggest using an asterisk (*) after the vehicle type until core number is known, then use core number with a reflight number (e.g., 23-1 for first reflight of the CRS-8 booster)....
One suggestion for him is that rather an asterisk it becomes highlighted in green.

One suggestion for him is that rather an asterisk it becomes highlighted in green. I also like the idea of leaving the cores as is right now "F9(23)" and when the core is reused go back and edit the original to "F9(23-1)" the second flight use as "F9(23-2)" and so on. But I'll be happy to leave it to starhawk, he has done a great job on this chart!
SES: We expect SES-10 satellite, w/ 27 incremental xponders + replacement of AMC-3/-4 over LatAm, to launch in October on SpaceX Falcon 9.
Commercial Crew dates -- are these too far in advance?Flights to the ISS should not slip by much, so not too worried about the future dates which have been provided. However, two Commercial Crew dates are floating around and we have more than that on the list now.CC Demo1 (May 2017)CC In-flight abort test (June 2017)CC with Crew (August 2017)Are these sensitive to ISS operations, and therefore should also be considered "more stable" for NET dates? And why are there only two dates instead of three?Thanks for any help with clarification on this, everyone!!
