Promise Their own work or organisation

A SpaceX Falcon booster will fly for the ninth time on the night of 14 March 2021.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?

Reasoning

dated 2021-03-14, on or after its own deadline 2021-03-14, so it is not a forecast as dated; the date is probably that of a later document repeating it
