“Accidental” PhD Physicist who knows where his towel is. Connoisseur of the absurd. Too willing to engage polite conversations.



Is there any real "due diligence" done by the 🅰️people? All of their points seem empty, vague, and very handwavy, at least that's the feeling I get. It seems to be confirmed when it comes down to the facts, they try to apply that same vague speculatory mindset they use regarding Starlink, arriving at a conclusion that always seems to be wrong. How many guesses have been propagated as truth? How many small differences have been exaggerated so large that they become the very core of their position? Probably a lot, because the trend I see is to take a kernel of truth and cover it with heavy layers of lies and speculation. I like what ASTS is doing, but the community makes it pretty hard to know what's actually significant, and the truth is, it's pretty hard to tell until both constellations are built and delivering data to customers. The issue is that most of them likely have a huge amount of money riding on the company, so they'll take anything and go with it solely for the comfort factor.



$RKLB For anyone concerned that Rocket Lab is building Neutron out of carbon composite. "I don't view the carbon composite as by far any of the largest risk at all. We just have so much knowledge and experience, and I've been building carbon fibre everything forever" "If you don't know what you're building it's a real problem. If you know exactly what you're building then it's great" — Sir Peter Beck, CEO of Rocket Lab



$ASTS: Imagine selling a generational company at the cusp of commercialization




$ASTS: I know of only one instance where Tim Farrar admitted that he was wrong. For many years he predicted the failure of Starlink fixed wireless service based on the notion that because everything that had come before failed, it too must also fail! Guess what Tim, technology and end markets change! Novel concept right? As you can see in his blog post below in 2022, not only did he admit he was wrong about Starlink's impending failure, but in the same post he declares Starlink the unbeatable winner! How do you flip like that?!?! You flip when you've been dead ass wrong the entire time and it's so obvious that people completely ignore your advice! I know it's hard to avoid this guy's garbage takes because he's always writing negative pieces on AST SpaceMobile. You know, he's trying very hard to stay relevant. But just know who you're dealing with. He's an industry consultant who's business model is built on being a FUD merchant. He gets quoted in as many articles as possible, tries to sow seeds of doubt about every industry player and then tries very, very, very hard to get hired by new companies or investors (who don't know any better) in the sector for $x / hour to explain why he is right and everyone else is wrong. Tough business right? Well that's why this guy is just a nasty person. Just look at his twitter. Find one positive post. I challenge everyone ... take a deep look and you'll see what kind of person he is.



$ASTS: “Slow bleed to zero” 😂


Camping and disconnecting a few days ✌️ If only I had $ASTS for service. Have a good week SpaceMob


The last BlueBird in the convoy is on the move. BlueBird 9 has officially left our Texas facilities and is heading to Cape Canaveral to reunite with BlueBirds 8 and 10. Next stop: the launch pad.🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 🚀 Built in Texas. Broadband from space. Designed to connect directly to everyday smartphones. 🌎📶📱 #ASTSpaceMobile #Broadband #ConnectingtheUnconnected #BlueBirds

$ASTS $SPCX: This is how @Starlink Mobile plans on competing against @AST_SpaceMobile's broadband D2D. 😅

Kevin O’Leary says almost nobody can beat the S&P 500 by picking individual stocks “If you think you’re so good that you can pick stocks and beat the index, give it a try and learn the hard way. Virtually nobody beats the index” “What you should do is make it easy for yourself. Maybe put $1,000 into one account where you pick stocks, and another $1,000 into SPY, the ETF that tracks the entire S&P 500” “And then you’ll find out the hard way that you’re not that good. 90% of the time, you can’t beat it, so you might as well join it and stop trying to pick stocks”
