Updates SpaceX Falcon 9 F2 updates

[RisingFury]

I know this is a couple weeks late but....

I was looking for the latest launch date for F2, looked through this article and found that no actual date is specified for the launch. It's things like this that make me upset with Space.com.

www.nasa.gov Launch Schedule for 2010 says no earlier then November 8th. I guess it deppends on the Shuttle. I hope there are no delays from SpaceX this time.

Currently it's scheduled for Nov. 8, 2010, between 14:30 and 17:52 UTC (9:30 a.m.-12:52 p.m. EST).

There is this calendar event for Falcon 9 COTS-1 launch, which is updated by me if I know about any changes.
(Here you can request a reminder for it.)

I hope they do finally get this launch under way.
SpaceX really need to get a few more launches under their belt.

Why is that, no launching for SpaceX is possible after Nov., 18th?

The other poster was writing about the Discovery. Am being superstitious, y'know.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 flight two is now scheduled for no earlier then November 19th, according to NASA launch schedule.

And a bit of off topic but still relevant, SpaceX retired Falcon 1 in favor of Falcone 1e.
The initial price for a F1 launch was 5.7 million USD and has risen over time. The launch costs of F1e are now set at 10.9 million, although F1e has almost twice the payload capacity of F1, at 1010 kg to LEO, according to SpaceX.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 flight two is now scheduled for no earlier then November 19th, according to NASA launch schedule.

That's due to range conflict with Delta 4-Heavy • NROL-32.
