? They've actually missed almost all of their deadlines. 3-5 years is more realistic (if I were a betting man) based on past performance.
But they've certainly hit all their milestones, eventually, which is much more than can be said for nearly every other private space venture.
- InclinedPlane 14y agoIt can be said for nearly every other space venture, period.

- krie 14y agoNever is the most realistic deadline.

The only thing standing in their way are the engineering challenges needed to reduce the risk to levels that they consider acceptable, and they seem to have a firm handle on what that entails and how to achieve it.
