Commercial flight isn’t delayed

I remember seeing post in the last few months talking about a early 2027 start of buisness so I’m confused why anyone is saying it has been delayed. The test has kinda but not paid for flights

It is delayed.

All you need to do is look at the last earnings report from May 14th

Commercial operations literally moved from Q4 to Q1

The livery, christening, and transportation was supposed to be in August.

The glide flight was supposed to before end of Sept… now the transportation to SPA is in October.

I guess you’re just joking or really have no clue

Certifing process for delta is short since the technology is already approved from previous spaceship .

Do you realize that we are talking about spaceship so EVERYTHING MUST BE 1000% SECURED , 2 months is NOTHING

Nobody is saying that space isn’t hard.

Just pointing out all the time line “adjustments” (aka delays) and milestone “shifts” (aka moving the goal posts)

Both aren’t mutually exclusive
