Will SpaceX stick to their 2012 manifest?

From their current launch manifest:


That's 1 FH, 3 or more F9. Assuming each rocket spends a maximum of 6 months on the pad and they all arrive on the pad within 2012, there should be 4 or more launches before July 01 2013.

Will they make it?

Preliminary results are in:

NASA 1: success
ORBCOMM 1 (piggyback): failure
NASA 2: still on manifest for 2012
MDA: pushed back until 2013
FH: pushed back until 2013

So "4 or more" has been reduced to "probably only 2". I'm not surprised or worried, but I wonder what it'll mean for the future.

Number of completed flights:
2006: 1
2007: 1
2008: 2
2009: 1
2010: 2
2011: 0
2012: 2

Number of planned flights:
2012: 1
2013: 7
2014: 10
2015: 15

Looks like an optimistic schedule. I look forward to the day they launch one rocket every month :)

Yep. It's interesting that both of Musks primary ventures are faced with the same problem at the moment: they've got the technology, they've got a product that people want, but they have to scale up production big time in order to really capitalise on those things. It's all about execution now, and there's a difference between scaling up a manufacturing plant and an Internet company. Can Musk do it? We'll know more in a year or so...

July 1 has come and gone, final number is 2.

Updated numbers (delta in parentheses):

Number of completed flights:
2006: 1
2007: 1
2008: 2
2009: 1
2010: 2
2011: 0
2012: 2
2013: 1 (+1)

Number of planned flights:
2012: 0 (-1)
2013: 5 (-2)
2014: 12 (+2)
2015: 15
2016: 6
2017: 2

One launch completed, two launches pushed back. I think 5 more rockets rolled out in 2013 is optimistic as usual. More flights will be pushed back to 2014, and when 2014 comes with its >12 launches they will have to push everything back because 12 launches in 2014 sounds very optimistic.

Falcon Heavy demo flight has been pushed back to 2014. I wonder if they did that to prioritize paying customers or if the delay is caused by FH itself?

As far as I can tell, Cassiope wasn't on the manifest. So now we have 2 completed launches in 2013, and still 5 on the manifest.

New manifest numbers while we wait for the SES launch:

2013: 4 (-1)
2014: 12
2015: 15
2016: 6
2017: 3 (+1)
2018: 1 (+1)

So my prediction is already coming true. 1 launch pushed back to 2014 already, and the launches after it also pushed back because 2014 is already crowded.

I just had a new look at the manifest. Here's the new and the delta:

Number of completed flights:
2006: 1
2007: 1
2008: 2
2009: 1
2010: 2
2011: 0
2012: 2
2013: 4 (+3)

Sum: 13

Number of planned flights:
2013: 0 (-4)
2014: 14 (+2)
2015: 15
2016: 6
2017: 3
2018: 1

Sum: 39

A total of 4 missions were completed in 2013, of a planned 7. We're already 1/4 into 2014 with 0 launches yet. If they're going to reach the target of 14, they'd better hurry up. My prediction is they will miss their mark by a lot as usual. I guess they will up the pace from the 4 last year to maybe 6 this year, and the rest will be pushed back. Whenever they finally manage to launch every month or more, they'll have a huge backlog of delayed launches.
