The reused rocket will be used to launch SES-10 later this year, not AMOS-6.

Question is whether they will have a launch pad at that time and how long investigations will last and until a fix is deployed. May well be that there are no more launches this year.

Yeah the last time they lost something it was a 6 month freeze on launches.

This is a brand new rocket. The reused rocket will be used for the SES-10 mission.

Because it would just be speculation at this point, less than hour after it's happened?

It was just yesterday we read about SpaceX launching their first reused rocket. However, after searching for the news article, it's now clear to me that this was scheduled to happen "late this year".
