ASTS is a SPCX competitor in a completely different way than RKLB is a SPCX competitor. I think the long knives are out for ASTS. I don’t think they’re out for RKLB.

@RKLBMan Yeah. I don’t like the weird uninformed chatter and money poking around RKLB when they just need room to work the miracles that are already on the calendar for the year. We don’t need this circus.
@MrsIglesiasRKLB@RocketLab Bingo. I see and respect the pace of these releases as we approach June 12. My guess is that the PR schedule was set and someone had to do a lot of tap dancing to stick to that schedule when BO blew up.
