No.
I have no idea why some dudes seem to be hoping this fails - the rumors are out of control.
It will happen when the Feds allow it, and no, it won't go perfectly.
Latest best guess is January. They are coordinating the six required proving runs with the Feds now. The holidays coming up aren't helping with that, but once they're done, we should be good to go.
