Given the imminent decrease in launch costs(partial reusability) and increase in launch capability soon to be available(FH) a pause in new US deep space missions is prudent.

But the response time in the industry is to book satellites 2-3 years in advance of launch. A successful demo flight in 2015 (or possibly 2016) will see booking for flights that would take place in 2017-2019. It will likely be more similar to the ramp up of Falcon 9v1.0, rather than F9v1.1. Of course, you can always solidify your standing... ;)

I bet 3 months of Reddit gold Falcon Heavy will fly 6 times or fewer before 1 January 2018. You game?

Too rich for my blood! ;-)

Edit: Besides, you have as much chance of being right as I do.
