Yes, if you get launched by 265, and that shouldn't be a problem.

"Good morning, Cap'n!" he says to you, "Glad to hear from ya', and that you'll be able to get us to Mark by the seventy-second. We have our first match on the seventy-fourth. No, special requirements, fur food, just plenty of it and fish and meat, lots of it 'specially for our vargr players. Spiced wine and beer, oh and will we have a place to work out?"

Done.

Done.

Shawn can do the astrogation in the evenings, it'll be a two or three hour job for him, but nothing he can't handle.

Shooting for late 263 or early 264? That is doable, but everyone will need to hustle.

It is possible.

The Walk needs a new sensor array, and Kelly can't fix that without parts. It'll fly just fine on visual (what's that called? it's on the tip of my tongue!), but you'll need a trip back to Pete's U Pull It back on Mark, before you have sensors for night or instrument flight.
