As a point on the FH, one reason it's delayed is that it has lower priority: now that the Falcon 9 has been upgraded to the full thrust version, it can take many customers who were originally envisioned to go on the Heavy

I think that they only have one customer lined up which actually needs the heavy? And hopefully being able to do the red dragon mission in 2018.
