Long time between lunches

Or, more accurately, launches. SpaceX have been quiet for quite a few
months. When's their next launch due?

being wined and dined by them?

That's why there haven't been any launches this year; they're still
hung-over from all the 'business lunches'! ;-)

Falcon 1 is essentially dead.

Falcon 9's next flight was to be this summer, launching the second
Dragon test flight. But NASA has agreed to SpaceX's request to combine
the second Dragon test flight (which would not have gone to the Space
Station) and third Dragon test flight (which would have) into one
mission, which will take place sometime this fall. The next flight
will now be phased, so that if the orbital checkout is successful,
Dragon 2 will proceed to the Space Station.
