That's a fast turnaround time! Hopefully the engine relight goes perfectly.

I wonder if the delay to flight 7 will take longer to approve the actual orbital profile.

Flight 7 might also take longer since it will be the first V2 ship. S33 only just did its cryo test last week. They still need to static fire the booster and ship, then do any necessary wet dress rehearsals.
