The @BlueOrigin @AST_SpaceMobile launch has been tracked by Space Force as catalog 68765, 2026-85A, in a 154 x 494 km x 36.1 deg orbit. Epoch is 1138 UTC which is the time of SECO-1, so this may not be the final orbit. (If it is, then they are indeed toast).

LATEST TRACKING DATA POINTS TO A TIGHT BUT NOT CLOSED WINDOW This is the most concrete data so far, and it sharpens the situation materially. A ~154 x 494 km orbit tells you two things immediately. The apogee is healthy and already in a usable regime. The entire problem is the perigee sitting deep in the upper atmosphere. ~150 km perigee is survivable in the very short term, but it introduces continuous drag and energy loss every orbit. So the clock is running. The satellite will not stay there passively for long. But this is where the nuance matters. This object is cataloged at SECO 1 epoch, which means this may not reflect the final insertion. If there was a planned or partial SECO 2, or any subsequent maneuvering, the orbit could already be different than what’s being tracked here. That uncertainty alone keeps this from being a definitive “failure” read. Even if this were the working orbit, it is still not automatically terminal. With apogee already near ~500 km, the most efficient recovery path is raising perigee. That is a standard maneuver profile if propulsion, attitude control, and power systems are functioning. The satellite would stay in a compact configuration, minimize drag, and begin burns to lift the low point of the orbit out of the atmosphere. So the outcome hinges on execution and timing. If AST can initiate orbit raising quickly and has sufficient propellant margin, this can still transition into a usable orbit with some lifetime penalty. If not, drag at perigee will progressively lower the orbit until recovery is no longer possible. McDowell’s caution is appropriate. This is not a comfortable insertion. But it is also not a closed case. We are now firmly in a narrow band of outcomes. High risk, but still within the envelope of recoverable missions depending on what the spacecraft is doing right now.

@jonatanu @talia_einhorn @NavehDromi lol. America doesn’t support you clowns. The next generation has discarded you. Without the support of America, Israel ceases existence. Enjoy the little time you have left.

Bill Ackman
Bill Ackman@BillAckman·
This afternoon @RealCandaceO slandered me by accusing me of 'staging an intervention' with Charlie Kirk in which 'threats were made' with respect to his supposed 'evolving stance' on Israel at an event I hosted in the Hamptons. Candace also intimated that I 'blackmail[ed]' Charlie. On the show, Candace said that she 'would be very happy for me to dispute this narrative.' While it pains me to drive more traffic to her program, I am responding here to clear my name. It saddens me that we live in a society where social media influencers seek to monetize the tragic death of Charlie Kirk. For the record, at no time have I ever threatened Charlie Kirk, Turning Point or anyone associated with him. I have never blackmailed anyone, let alone Charlie Kirk. I have never offered Charlie or Turning Point any money in an attempt to influence Charlie's opinion on anything. In fact, my interactions with Charlie Kirk have been extremely cordial, albeit limited, regretfully so, as I was very impressed by him and his work and I will sadly never see him again. In an effort to clear the record, I share the following: I have followed @charliekirk11 on @X for some time and greatly admired him. While I didn't agree with Charlie on every issue, I had enormous respect for his intelligence, vast knowledge about religion, and his willingness to take on all comers in open mic sessions on campus and otherwise. Periodically, I would repost some of his posts and video clips. I connected with Charlie when he DM'd me in late May of this year and expressed interest in meeting me. In light of our respective schedules, we were unable to find a time to meet in person so we scheduled a zoom on June 11th. On the zoom, he explained to me that conservatives, in particular, young conservatives were getting tired of defending Israel, and this was very concerning to him. I asked him how I could learn more, and he suggested that it might be useful to convene a group of young conservative influencers on a host of topics that could include Israel to get a better sense of how the conservative community was thinking about Israel and other relevant issues of concern to young people. On the zoom, Charlie also said that his open mic conversations on campus were very effective in addressing issues on the minds of students, but he was only one person with limited bandwidth. He suggested that recruiting a group of junior Charlie Kirk's who could host open mic sessions on college campuses would be an effective way to encourage debate on a host of issues, an approach he believed to be worthy of consideration, and better enable students to get to the truth. I expressed interest in learning more and we thereafter scheduled a series of conference calls and zooms with Charlie, Turning Point staff and members of my team in an effort to assemble a diverse group of influencers who we could convene for a day and a half session. In addition to getting a better sense of what and where young conservatives were on various issues, Charlie thought doing so might enable him to identify potential candidates who could launch their own campus tours and carry forth his approach to dialogue. We chose the afternoon of August 4th to the afternoon of the 5th for the convening, and Charlie and members of my team worked to put together an invitation list. I offered to host the sessions in Bridgehampton (and cover the costs) so that I could attend some of the sessions as I was working from there at that time. Charlie sent out the invitations and about 35 or so influencers accepted. Charlie estimated that the influencers who attended collectively had more than 100 million followers. Charlie and Turning Point put together the agenda for the meeting and the topics were: The Economic Future of America The Cultural Landscape of Dating and Marriage The Convergence of East and West Mamdani, the New Threat to America Charlie asked me to moderate the Economic Future discussion which I did, and I thereafter hosted a Q&A session with the participants. The Convergence of East and West included a discussion of immigration, value systems, the U.S. approach to foreign policy and Israel. While I had wanted to attend the Convergence panel, I had a board meeting that conflicted with this session. Those that attended this session said that the Israel discussion was similar to the other sessions with the attendees expressing varying points of view as well as explaining the views of their followers. Some participants were critical of Israel and U.S. support for Israel, and others were supportive. The sessions were punctuated by meals. I attended one group lunch and a group dinner where I sat with Charlie and others. I found the sessions I attended interesting and I really enjoyed meeting the influencers. It gave me considerable perspective on what is on the mind of young Americans on a wide range of issues. At the end of the event, I sat with Charlie and members of my team and we discussed the events of the convening. Charlie believed that he had identified a number of potential Turning Point ambassadors who could launch open mic events on campus and that he would follow up with them. We agreed to keep in touch thereafter. We corresponded by text thereafter over the next few weeks on a range of topics that did not include Israel, and the next thing I knew, he was gone. In short, this was not an 'intervention' to 'blackmail' Charlie Kirk into adopting certain views on Israel. It was nothing of the sort.

JUST IN: Candace Owens claims "threats were made" to Charlie Kirk during an intense "intervention" with Bill Ackman in the Hamptons weeks ago. Owens claims Kirk was having a change of heart on Israel before his death and says he was contacted by Bibi Netanyahu. "I know that Charlie was offered a ton of money in this moment. A ton of money..." Ackman has denied the claims, calling them "totally false."

BlueBird 6 is fully assembled, and final tests are being completed imminently to be ready for shipment! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 BlueBirds 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are in various stages of production, targeting to complete all phased arrays this month. We are on track to complete 40 phased arrays by early 2026, bringing us to BlueBird 46. Each BlueBird is the largest commercial satellite ever launched to low Earth orbit! This is just the start of our deployment roadmap, with launches every 1-2 months on average moving forward, and 20 satellites approved to launch by the FCC — and more to come. The future of space-based cellular broadband connectivity is around the corner! 🌎📱📶💪 #ASTSpaceMobile #BlueBird6 #NextGenBlueBird

@CongressThot @spacanpanman In the last 2 calls, they made a point “I was hoping unintentionally but now it looks totally intentional”to never say they would launch in 2025, it was always, we will have 20 or 40 sats up in 2025 and 2026.

$ASTS: T-Mobile is now in the Finding Out phase. Starlink laid down a $17B spectrum to now go after your mobile customers. And T-Mobile is spending its own $ on marketing "T-Satellite Service with Starlink" 🤷‍♂️

@DukNukedEm @CatSE___ApeX___ Why are so you angry man? You have a sick lambo, a super nice lower middle class house, most likely a wife that use be a solid 6 before the kids who may even still blow you once a month although I'd think you'd be a little less hostile if that were true so probably not 🙁
