2 Stage Missile Won't Fly!

Hm, the "preparing to launch but not ready yet" message is normally due to an unexperienced crew (training below 100).
Giving them some time to get their act together should do the trick in that case.

I gave them 7 days. I assumed that would be long enough. Should I give them more time?

LOL, no, additional time is not required. The delay for untrained crew is a lot shorter, perhaps up to a minute (while in combat that minute does _feel_ like days, though)
