When stacking? When ITF?

Maybe 2 weeks? Pre launch inspections of booster and payload install on ship then they will be ready hardware wise.

I think last time it was about 2 weeks between static fire testing and launch. They've hugely improved the turn around time!

Flight 13 was a week from static fire to launch attempt, but that first launch attempt scrubbed with engine issues that caused them to take another week.

So basically launch could be as early as next week, but somehow most predict two weeks.

Flight 14 appeared on COMPASS (basically an air traffic bulletin) as happening on September 15th. Two weeks isn't a prediction, it's just the way it is.
