Is this going to change the launch window (in 2018) for Red Dragon to Mars?? I guess it all depends on the reason for the launch failure. People on Metaculus are discussing about this- http://www.metaculus.com/questions/224/will-spacex-launch-fo...



Last accident, Falcon Heavy had a big delay. Apparently SpaceX pulled engineering resources off of FH to work on F9. Given that the 2018 launch window is narrow, it's quite likely that Red Dragon won't launch until the 2020 launch window.

p.s. are you involved with Metaculus in some way? All of your recent postings appear to mention metaculus.com.
