Really tempting to redesign upper stage for return too (Falcon Heavy has enough power), but prob best to stay focused on the Mars rocket

Desch continued, "Next week we will start shipping the first of our ten Iridium NEXT satellites to Vandenberg Air Force Base for first launch. We now anticipate a first launch date with SpaceX of September 19th at 9:49pm PDT. With a second launch planned for December, we expect all seven launches with SpaceX to be completed by the end of 2017. This is a particularly exciting time for our employees, partners and investors as over seven years of planning and coordination usher in a new era of satellite services for Iridium and its global customers."

Компания SpaceX, ракета которой неделю назад взорвалась на стартовой площадке, не будет проводить пуски космических аппаратов еще от 9 до 12 месяцев, заявил Тори Бруно, глава конкурирующей корпорации United Launch Alliance (ULA), передаёт Reuters.
По мнению главы ULA, именно такое время займет у руководства SpaceX расследование инцидента.
"Типичная ситуация, когда возвращение к пускам занимает от девяти до 12 месяцев. Об этом говорит история (таких инцидентов)", - сообщил Бруно.

Reed: going through lot of testing on Crew Dragon, including parachutes, capsule qualification, design closeouts. #AIAASpace

Reed didn’t give any specific schedules for Crew Dragon demo missions, which likely in flux anyway. #AIAASpace

Production Raptor goal is specific impulse of 382 seconds and thrust of 3 MN (~310 metric tons) at 300 bar
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) September 26, 2016
Chamber pressure is almost 3X Merlin, so engine is about the same size for a given area ratio
