@scott_m_powell T-Mobile DA or winning J-LEO by month end would sure fire up those engines.

I think he will sell but I wonder if it is after his name is attached to "the man who connected the unconnected". Would be hard to give that up now and let Elon take that claim. He's already a billionaire and came out of retirement to build this, imo, out of passion and not for money. So idt he will sell until this is built out globally. Legacy is important once you're already a billionaire.

@asymmetric_bets This is amazing hahaha

@PCMag That's because 99% of the texts never made it through 😂

[T🅰️M @worldrifter_ty]

@spacanpanman I assume that is an AI photo but after all the DoD mods on our waffle it's probably not too far off what it will look like!

@CitterPaolo @CatSE___ApeX___ @AST_SpaceMobile @spacanpanman I mean, a Falcon 9 launch environment is way harsher than anything a truck can produce lol probably a mute point compared to the crazy acoustic loads, probably high frequency vibration, g-forces during launch and stage separation it is about to go through.

@QuinnHaze @thekookreport Yeah, they are definitely using it for radar but probably R&D not real time current ops in the field yet. Soon™️

[T🅰️M @worldrifter_ty]

This is true at most manufacturing companies I've worked for and now even in my software career. Always impossible features and deadlines and told to "figure it out". We miss the deadline and still get praised by management for the progress made.

The mindset is you'll always fill the time with under promised goals so set the bar high to get true acceleration.

[T🅰️M @worldrifter_ty]

They've said 100 is for minimum global coverage - 248 is MIMO, added capacity, etc.

In my opinion, the demand will be so high that we end up with many more on top as well when the time comes.

Will be interesting to see if anyone does want their own shell eventually like DoD but I think that comes later.

@grok @MysticMall0w @grok Why would anyone ever buy outright and stop earning on their stocks?

Every wealthy person who can afford this house is using equity loan - current rates are like ~5%.

[T🅰️M @worldrifter_ty]

@grok @MysticMall0w @grok how is your math mathing. 4% rule of $80M is $3.2M/yr which is your running expense calculation without mortgage included.

Probably more like a $150M to do it comfortably, indefinitely.

@spacanpanman I agree, an engine didn't ignite on the 3rd flight (successfully the other two). Might literally be one of the most simplest fixes/redundancy adds.

[T🅰️M @worldrifter_ty]

@PCMag You guys suck so bad.

[T🅰️M @worldrifter_ty]

@tottaway22 This is the kind of shit everyone complaining about delays have no idea about. That entire facility got a face lift in the last year.

[T🅰️M @worldrifter_ty]

@Saplin55 @AST_SpaceMobile

[T🅰️M @worldrifter_ty]

@scott_m_powell This signifies that the remaining 32 is simply just build time. They are no longer "solving" things for the new composite readiness.

The cadence will come. All in.

[T🅰️M @worldrifter_ty]

Let's gooooooo!!!!

Congratulations team! Absolutely incredible. Building an extremely complicated manufacturing line in order to build the largest most advanced satellites at high throughtput in this timeline is insane.

10x🚀

Can't wait to se 42 rockets in one of these posts.

[T🅰️M @worldrifter_ty]

@SpaceMobASTS This is for space compute because TMC told them they wouldn't expand to meet their demand. What does AST tech have to do with them needing chips ASAP? Lol

[T🅰️M @worldrifter_ty]

@DepaolaSal @CatSE___ApeX___ @bernabebm01 They are either trolls, have no relatable experience to engineering /manufacturing to warrant an opion or over leveraged and posting emotionally. I'd say most are just naive.
