Default Falcon 1 to Pad

Craig Covault AW&ST story at:

"http://www.aviationow.com/avnow/news/channel_awst_story.jsp?id=news/09274wna.xml"

says that the first SpaceX Falcon 1 is expected to move
to its Vandenberg pad by the end of next week. A static
firing is planned first. If the first flight doesn't
happen by late November, it will have to slip to 2005 due
to range upgrades. After that, Falcon 1 has only two more
outstanding launch contracts (Falcon 5 has one).
