Spacex could nearly launch as many times in 2017 as they did from 2010 to 2016

Spacex plans to launch its Falcon 9 rockets every two to three weeks.

SpaceX was approaching that pace last autumn, before the Sept. 1 accident, which happened during a routine preflight test. The explosion destroyed a $200 million Israeli satellite and heavily damaged the launch pad.

Shotwell said repairs to the launch pad at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, which are still underway, should cost “far less than half” of a new launch pad, which she said runs about $100 million. The new launch pad is at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, just north of the Cape Canaveral site.
SpaceX is also modifying the rocket's engines to increase performance and resolve potential safety concerns, said Shotwell.

Elon is today's Edison. Would anyone else agree?

who?.....
 
Elon Musk is an extremely intelligent and bold individual and very financially bold. He will either end up among the richest individuals on this planet, or very broke. Either way, he will have made more impact than most men every dream of. I wish him the very best, and success in all his undertakings.
 
Commercial exploitation of space is the way to go not taxpayer funded, bloated government bureaucracy.
