@AlexfromBabylon Well, you cannot really control real estate (earthqauke, robbery, government, location risk, etc) nor Stocks (bakruptcy, dilution, people's tastes, and many other risks)...
Guinness World Record. 🏆 We build bigger in Texas 💪💪💪
BlueBirds just made history, recognized by Guinness as the world’s largest commercial communications arrays ever deployed in low Earth orbit.
An American breakthrough in space engineering.
Built in Texas. Broadband from space. A market we invented. 🇺🇸🌎📶📱

I watched that clown- and his friends - go through phases, a bit like:
No funds
Tech does not work, too weak signals
Not enough funds
They will not unfold
Tech does not work as good as (insert other name)
They can’t make enough satellites
They unfolded but eill wiggle and burn
They will not get a grant
They can not do station keeping
They can not fit inside a Falcon9 fairing
No one will partner with them
They can at best do narrowband under a clear sky
Not enough funds now either
Some has not partnered with them
They shouldn’t have aquired this much funds as they cant produce satellites
They will never be able to batch produce these at cadence
The batch production cadence isn’t high enough
They have no spectrum
Signal is too strong, will not be allowed
They can only fit 3 inside a Falcon 9 fairing
The signals are so strong the will not be allowed
They haven’t booked any Falcon 9s
They make so many satellites there is not enough rockets
Not everyone partnered with them
They unfolded and didn’t burn but not very fast so probably broken because my personal phone hasn’t connected at broadband speed just the CEO of Vodafone
They only booked 10 Falcon 9 and not all initially, some were oprional and exercised bc New Glenn exploded
They can do station keeping but not orbital raise
The New Glenn that exploded is probably the last one they will ever build and you can’t fix a new launchpad.
They can’t use all that spectrum on the first generation satellite
While they all unfolded perfectly they are still heavy and big and my personal phone still hasn’t connected yet.
There is no lowband spectrum for them and the three big MNOs pooling lowband for D2D and Grain trials on SpaceMobile is just a buying cartel for S-band plays like Amazon.
That grant only allows the first few tens of satellites, granting the initial 28 satellites isn’t in any way a sign they’re going to grant anymore
Everyone might have partnered with them but it’s still a very small market it’s just everyone with a smartphone and not when they are under towers. Not everyone on the planet has smartphone.
They can do orbital raise but that takes time.
Todays announcement of the Trump administration of a global 6G race is bearish for telecom infrastructure foundational for 6G. Their announcement to push more spectrum to 6G isn’t worth mentioning in this context.
While AST can do broadband one wall in no-one, I repeat no-one, uses D2D indoors anyway. There’s wifi. And that’s for SpaceX.
Etc, etc
He and his friends always a bit behind like if SpaceMob are towing them unwillingly into the future.
He has never ever said anything positive for $ASTS
Must be a fun guy to be around.
”No need to breathe today, we’re soon dead anyway” type of guy.
Never met someone moving goal-posts like Tim Farrar. He’s been consistently wrong on everything AST for 5 years now.
