@daveginvesting@IridiumComm@IridiumBoss@Via_Satellite "The winners will likely make their own satellites and launch their own rockets to drive down their long-term costs and make marginal business cases close." A little match made in heaven with RKLB!
@bennbuilds Without Starlink/Leo I don't think the use case supports larger for most launch providers. SpaceX reported 17 customer launches YTD with an average payload of 7.76 metric tons. Rocket Lab's Neutron payload is advertised as 13 metric tons to LEO. What is the next need for larger?
@CalebChamberla6 @philsails0 Thoughts on offering different prices for different terms lengths? I have heard several shops say they will add a "finance" percentage to their quotes for longer terms.
@peteoxenham@emm0sh Bought a VF4SS, went back and forth on which machine to buy but ultimately the ecosystem, sales season and support in my area won out.
