More rockets in the hangar at LC-1 than we’ve ever had before. We’re lining up a busy few weeks of back-to-back-to-back-to-back launches from the world’s first private orbital launch site 🚀🚀🚀🚀
@spacanpanman Incr $ASTS and $FLY holdings by 25% over past three days, not sure if more wretching from that or from holding overnight, over weekend, swings are wild, Tacos making me sick & making me coin, how many more “buying opportunities” before reaching escape velocity? OK if this is it!
BREAKING 🚨 via SpaceNews:
"K2 Space, Rocket Lab win key supplier roles in Space Force satcom program"
"K2 Space and Rocket Lab will supply spacecraft buses to SES and Viasat for the military’s next-generation protected satcom program"

June 17, 2:39am ET. Starlink's toughest competitor launches its most important satellites yet on a Falcon 9.
Tesla had this exact moment in 2012. SpaceX had it in 2019. The market mispriced both.
The math on $ASTS, in 4 charts:
The future of exploration will be built through thriving spaceports, reusable rockets, orbital assembly, and technologies we once only imagined.
Just as railroads and highways transformed our economy, tomorrow’s orbital and lunar economy will help power what comes next.
Very exciting times ahead.
@ASTS_Investors Lisa M raises interesting point: Will SpaceX suck $$ away or increase space sector interest? To the extent that space etf are bought, helps all companies included, no? On other hand, have been massive gains in many names, can see case for profit taking and re-investing
@ASTS_Investors But what will conclusion be when AST is discovered? Felt rock solid w conviction w AST, now learning more about starlink V3s, concerned. Starship will be up and running and spewing dozens at a time. FCC clearance and starship OK is inevitably, seems sooner than later. Tik-tock…
@ASTS_Investors I try not to judge what others do w taking their legal and ethical earnings, part of their compensation to be used at their discretion.
During a spacewalk early in his career, @astro_luca's helmet began to fill with water. As the water started to rise Luca couldn't breathe, communicate or even see, relying on his safety tether to return to the airlock - and safety. He handled the life-threatening crisis with so much calm and clarity that his heart rate stayed stable at a resting rate and colleagues at mission control couldn't even tell he was stressed.
This is a story that is passed around the hallways at ESA as legend. It's a story that tells you more about an astronaut than any CV ever could.
Luca is precise, composed and determined. He is exactly the right person for this role. A test pilot by training, with two missions to space, a commander of the International Space Station – he has seen spaceflight from every angle that matters.
Yesterday I felt so much pride for Luca, as I caught a glimpse of his two daughters from the audience while they watched their father named part of the #ArtemisIII crew, in what must be one of the most emotive moments of his career.
Caro Luca, siamo tutti orgogliosi di te. Buon volo!

@DavidCG1111@zuoxiaoshun2025@BlackPantherCap Notably, this from 1 y/a. Can’t talk about launch cadence, only one successful in ~1-year. And what CEO says needs big grain of salt, right? It’s his company! All said, $FLY my #3 holding but have concerns. Thankful used 100% gain rule, shed shares in Roth, can start buying back.
$ASTS: But, but, but I was told by @TMFAssociates and other hacks that AST's Block-2 BlueBird satellites wouldn't fit in a Falcon-9 fairing?!?
Reality:
BB8, BB9 and BB10 chilling in a Falcon
@PepInvestStocks@zuoxiaoshun2025 FLY has had no consistency and very few reps w light rocket launch, seems a bit rich to say they are only reusable medium lift when we have rocketlab and neutron
@thekookreport@CatSE___ApeX___ Seems highly important, and I loved the exchange and mutual respect/understanding between him and Senator Kelly, plus the let’s talk off record, off mic, and both clearly engaged and knowledgeable.
