Speaking of such things, what ever happened to DragonLab?

Dunno. SpaceX keeps mum about dates on their Launch manifest long range
(3 mos?). But. Unofficially of course, folks over at
nasaspaceflight.com claim that DragonLab 1 has been pushed into later
this year and DragonLab 2 has been pushed back to 2018.

Here's that persons link to a spreadsheet of proposed manifests with
year dates:

Your mileage will vary and of course, this was written all before last
year's F9 mishap. So perhaps slipped even further due to the F9 downtime?
