Default Delta IV heavy next launch?

Anyone know when the next Delta IV heavy is supposed to fly? Thought it was supposed to be this month.

All Delta launchers are currently on hold due to an industrial dispute at Boeing.

For launch manifests all over, try www.orbireport.com

An already completed Delta IV (not the 'heavy') is on the pad, collecting dust and delays as good as any wonky, stick-built Titan IV ever did.

A real pad-sitter.

While Atlas keeps going....and going...and...

And the Russians continue to dominate. Their RD-170s are under the Sea Launch Zenit, and its half strength RD-180s found life under the Atlas V.

The Zenit strap-ons of Energiya live on after Saturn molders.

And while the fan-boys worship the bones of Saturn--it is the ghost of Energiya--though crushed--that laughs at us from the grave.
