Next up, version 1.1 with uprated engines and stretched fuel/oxidizer

This will be a very interesting launch, since the Falcon 9 1.1 will be
the first flight of what is very nearly a new rocket. New engines, new
engine layout, longer tanks in both stages... much more than just small
modifications.


Do we know which of the upcoming Falcon 9 flights this will be?
Will it be the next ISS resupply mission (Flight 4) or one of the
upcoming satellite launches?
