Cause if they can do that succesfully, all else that follows has more credibility.Erm, wouldn't SES-10, launching in ~1 month not be that? Announcing that, or something else already known, would be great...

Didn't Gwynne confirm that during CRS-10 pre-launch conf and then the SpaceX rep (Jenny?) was asked again during post-launch and she said SES-10 is reuse booster. And hasn't SpaceX confirmed it on twitter etc?

Regarding SpaceX, it's not spacesuits apparently. We'll know soon.
Yup @SpaceX is sending something/somone to the Moon Confirmed @SpaceX and @ElonMusk will be announcing some sort of Moon mission in 5 minutes.From NASAWatch twitter.
How long is the launch window for this announcement? Are they going to have to scrub for today?
Maybe with Red Dragon off the table for 2018 they will do a shakedown of Dragon+FH with the Moon instead (orbiting, since it can't land).

He has been talking to the POTUS lately and there are those rumors of Lunar flights.Edit: Can FH reuse all 3 cores if it throws a Dragon 2 around the moon?
