SpaceX DM-1 mission scheduled!

Just receive a Reddit post regarding the launch date of the first unmanned Dragon 2 capsule: Joe Montalbano of NASA announced n passing that DM-1 is now scheduled for 8 January 2019! Later in same post, the possible date for DM-2 as a fully manned flight is now tentatively as early as May 2019. Suspected slippage could be June/July time frame if flown fully manned.

Re: SpaceX DM-1 mission scheduled!

All that they posted was this is the first unmanned capsule flight test. Undoubtedly on the Falcon 9 Block 5 booster, since it's the only one certifiable for man-rated missions.
