The latest messaging was actually exactly this - that they had a milestone of readiness for DM-1 set for December, but that launch couldn't happen until January because of ISS docking schedule availability. It's not a big difference, but it could shave off a few weeks on the margins.
- Klathmon 8y agoThats fair! I just keep seeing a lot of comments whenever something happens about how "SpaceX might get to launch sooner", and it kinda annoys me because there's a pretty well set schedule and they aren't going to cut corners just because an opportunity arose. You are right though that scheduling might let this move up a bit.
- azernik 8y agoYeah, poking around this thread I'm also seeing people underestimating the lead time required for any changes to the CCP timeline.
