MTV officially shut down its 24-hour music channels yesterday. They ended their final broadcast with 'Video killed the radio star' by The Buggles, the very first video broadcasted by MTV on August 1st, 1981.

$ASTS My Massive Misunderstanding About BlueBird 6
Mea Culpa: I thought BlueBird 6 unfolded immediately. I was completely wrong. Here is the REAL timeline. 🛰️🤯

Like many excited investors, when I saw the notification that AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird 6 (BB6) successfully reached orbit, I imagined an immediate, dramatic transformation. I thought: "Rocket separates, boom, giant antenna pops open, let's start beaming 5G!"

I couldn't have been more wrong.

I just got a crash course in orbital mechanics, and here is my "aha!" moment. Unfolding a 2,400 sq ft array (the size of a tennis court!) immediately after ejection from a rocket is suicidal for a satellite. It would be like trying to open a massive parachute while tumbling out of a car on the highway. It would rip apart or spin out of control.

The Reality: The "Space Origami" Wait

The process is much slower, more deliberate, and nerve-wracking. Here is the actual, realistic timeline we need to watch over the next few months:

Phase 1: The Deep Breath (Current Status - Next ~7 Days)Right now, BB6 is likely stabilizing its tumble, deploying solar panels for power, and undergoing full system "health checks." Ground control is ensuring the launch didn't break anything. No unfolding happens yet.

Phase 2: The Great Unfold (Estimated Week 2-3)Once stable, the "space origami" begins. This is the most critical physical step. The massive array will slowly, methodically unfold and lock into place over several days. We wait for official confirmation that the array is fully deployed and rigid.

Phase 3: Lighting Up the ASIC (Q1 2026)Only after a perfect unfold do they turn on the revolutionary AST5000 ASIC chips. The next few months are dedicated to end-to-end connectivity tests with partners like AT&T and Verizon. We are looking for data on real-world speeds (120 Mbps target) and stability.

Space is hard, and patience is a requirement. The launch was just the commute to work; now the real job begins.

😊There is too much misinformation out there on $ASTS. If this thread helped clarify the reality, please RT to help others find quality due diligence

@Isotuoppi UPS on kyllä aivan huippua näissä ”ei voitu toimittaa” tapauksissa. 9 viimeisestä kymmenestä toimituksesta mennyt näin. Eilenkin kyttäsin koko päivän, ei näkynyt autoa eikä miestä. Seurannasta löytyy, että paketti jostain haettavissa, mutta paikkaa ei määritelty.

Everybody is still talking about 5G networks, but 🇫🇮 is moving on - toward the next G together with 🇺🇸! 6G will be at the heart of Finland’s future success, and by working together with the United States we can strengthen our technological advantage.

Suomen viestintäverkoissa siirretyn datan määrä on kasvanut vuodessa hieman yli 13 %.

Datan käyttö jakautuu melko tasaisesti kiinteän (51 %) ja matkaviestinverkon (49 %) kesken.
