Space-X does have a problem with launch rate.  They have a backlog of 50 launch orders and are about two years behind. They stopped posting future launch dates on their web site last year; comparing old launch manifests with new ones made their slip rate too clear.<p>The plan was to open their Brownsville TX launch facility this year,
but they&#x27;ve having foundation problems and may slip to 2018.[1]<p>The first Falcon Heavy is supposed to launch this spring&#x2F;summer. That will be a major milestone.  Nobody has launched anything that big since the Saturn V.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.krgv.com&#x2F;story&#x2F;30994915&#x2F;foundation-problems-delay-spacex-launch" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.krgv.com&#x2F;story&#x2F;30994915&#x2F;foundation-problems-delay...</a>
