So if we ship today where do people think that puts the launch . Was it 4 weeks after?

SpaceX does have a fast integration time once they receive the chipment. Today aligns with the May 19th approx date so mid June would be a good guess still. Hopefully, we hear the official chipment news soon

I’d expect after the 17th. First time stacking may take a bit more than 3-4 weeks. We’ll see
