The Vandenberg launches still happen, the next ones on the calendar are
the July launch of a Falcon 9 with a payload of 10 Iridium commercial
communications satellites.


Falcon 9 launches from Cape Canaveral are scheduled for April 4, mid-April,
May 3, June 24, one in July, and one in August.

The first flight of a Falcon Heavy is scheduled for September. The
heavy-lift rocket is formed of three Falcon 9 rocket cores strapped together
with 27 Merlin 1D engines firing at liftoff. Now THAT will definitely be
worth watching! Nice video: http://tinyurl.com/qd8dle7
