BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10 are now fully deployed to their full size, each the world's largest communications arrays operating in Low Earth Orbit. We invented a new way to design, manufacture at scale, deploy, and fly lightweight composite stackable architecture combined, with the world's largest and most advanced direct- to-device and radar phased-array with the ability to launch them in groups of 3, 5, 6, or 8 on a single launch. Our BlueBird platform brings together high-performance space-based cellular broadband with peak data rates approaching 200 Mbps, space AI edge computing, and many mission-critical government applications, all on one platform where the largest-ever size matters! BlueBirds 11, 12 and 13 are already at the Cape preparing for their imminent launch. BlueBirds 14, 15 and 16 are right behind them. Production has already moved through satellite 42. All of this is happening in Texas. 🤠🇺🇸📶🌎📱

Steady execution, and additional de-risking with every successful launch and deployment. BB7 (R.I.P) was a launch provider anomaly, but these things happen when pioneering a new frontier of space communications. The public has no idea what incredible things are coming SOON.

Be sure to visit the famous (but gross) gum wall while you are in that neighborhood! If you get a chance, go visit Kerry Park up on Queen Anne Hill, just north of downtown. It’s where a lot of postcards of the city are taken because you can see the space needle and Mt Rainier at the same time!

Morning y’all. It’s 60 here😝

Absolutely I will be there!

@NickGormanWX Terrible news; I am very sorry. Pets are family.

Today we found out that our dog Vinny has cancer, and he doesn’t have much longer with us💔

@SpaceMobActual Lol 73 OM, thanks for the QSO :) WD0HRC (General class since I was 17)

@StormChaserTodd CQ CQ CQ VA7JDG calling CQ

People keep asking to see the inside of the ISCN command 2 vehicle. Here it is! Tablet for radar, tablet for navigation, scanner, HAM radio and light controllers.

@deepresearch855 The soul has left my portfolio

105 degree heat index with burning hot sun in central Iowa this afternoon, so of course my two extremely hairy Samoyeds insisted on hanging out on the deck. Idiots.

@LPM1985 @Defiantclient2 @DaMadMonk_ @The_SPACTATOR @1MoreSmithHere @jusbar23 @AST_SpaceMobile Agree! I love all these guys!

My 5 favourite $ASTS research accounts @Defiantclient2 @DaMadMonk_ @The_SPACTATOR @1MoreSmithHere @jusbar23 Most of what you will read likely started with these guys 🧠 @AST_SpaceMobile #SpacemobDD #NotAllHeroesWearCapes

After my last post about AST, they announced a $1 billion offering of convertible notes. Stock price (already painfully low), plummeted further. I trust AST had a good reason, prob to add launch capacity. I TRUST them. Holding through the pain, always. $ASTS #ASTS

Exciting news from AST! Most people (including the stock market) don't understand how rapidly this will change the world of communications. Broadband everywhere to regular cellphones. No dead spots anywhere. Think of where the Internet was in 1995 - That's AST right now. $ASTS

@lawyerschiff Maybe next time! Vancouver is beautiful - safe travels, enjoy your trip, and tell Kevin I said hello!

@StormChaserTodd You know I thought about trying to come see you! Just couldn’t swing at this time. Trying to make a little bit of extra time to catch up with Kevin from Vancouver if I can….

Murrica!!!!!

@lawyerschiff Same. I don't like violence or war, but that being said - Ukraine didn't start this yet it looks like they might finish it. Their creative use of drone technology is fascinating.

@StormChaserTodd I hate to revel in violence, but this is just too cool and I really want Ukraine to dominate

Right out of a video game. Incredible

@Becca_Furnish That's the only good thing that's happened in Florence in years lol

Insane storm currently by Florence AZ!! #azwx @NWSPhoenix

I drove one of the @IAStormChasing command vehicles to Creston IA this morning, where a fellow chaser and I spent about 90 minutes doing youth outreach at a Y-Camp. Lots of interested kids, so of course I tossed up the drone for a group picture.
