Yeah, I -KNOW- everybody is
supposed to be 'working toward' a
mid-May liftoff, but then why are
the working troops I talk with all so
skeptical that it can -- or even
SHOULD - be done? Any other
'straws in the space wind'?

I'm betting on August.

I'd bet against it. The launch windows for the rest of the year are May 3-
22, July 1-19, August 29-Sept 14, Oct 26-30, and Dec 23-27. If they don't
launch in May or July, there's not much August window available.
