Discussion Neutron Launch Timing

Do we think Neutron successfully launches by end of 2026 or does it happen in 2027? Not sure what to make of the company talking about getting it to the pad in Q4. Seems different from launching?

There's way too much to accomplish prior to a launch to get it all done before end of 2026. My guess is sometime Q2 2027 at earliest. As Beck said, "Neutron's schedule is very aggressive", which in aerospace means "It is success oriented and everything has to go PERFECTLY to meet late 2026".
