You can’t make this shit up, out of the hundreds of payloads in this rideshare rocket, they manage to fuck up $ASTS satellites
Maybe $RKLB will be generous and launch their payload for them on their next electron mission, but this emphasizes the importance of end to end space business models, because now $ASTS has to wait 6 months for the next available slot on a rocket while $RKLB and SpaceX can launch whenever the fuck they want
Long $RKLB
Positions: $RKLB SHARES
Blue Orgin “accidentally” deploys their competitors satellites into the wrong orbit

Can you cite where you got the “now ASTS has to wait another 6 months…” from? Or did you just make that up. Thanks.

It’s like when Musk blew up Zuck’s satellite!
Very Bezos of them
Where’s the part about Jon Conner and Skynet?
Yeah it’s a complicated space. Competitors still need each other to actually do a lot of stuff so Elon’s rockets were launching ASTS satellites at same time he was trying to fuck them with the FCC.
Not even SpaceX can do it all themselves.
Technically Bezos’s sat biz is in competition with both but Blue Origin still launches.
Long the entire space industry. Not planning to go myself.
Dumbasses
ASTS is down 12% premarket. Does Blue Origin have the same return policy as Amazon?
you need 10 electrons tie together to launch 1 ASTS sat.
Tldr, op is long rklb and fuk bo
ASTS is done for, even being behind schedule Amazon LEO has 10x more satellites that are better equipped and optimized for AWS connectivity.
They’re already securing enterprise contracts left and right, and are in a partnership to provide cellular connections to Apple devices.
The $35B valuation for ASTS is a joke.
>Wait 6 months for SpaceX
>Launch on Electron
Just these two statements makes me believe OP words for words.
RKLB next HASTE mission will be a ASTS satellite after all right OP?
…what?

You literally did “make this shit up”.
$SATL on top
Electron can’t lift those, too big. That being said I’m all in on RKLB.
>Maybe $RKLB will be generous and launch their payload for them on their next electron mission.
Blue Bird Block 2s are too heavy for Electron. They literally cannot launch with RKLB.
>ASTS has to wait 6 months for the next available slot.
Maybe but not for certain.
>this emphasizes the importance of end to end space business models … $RKLB and SpaceX can launch whenever the fuck they want.
RKLB makes satellite components and launch rockets they made, they aren’t designing their own satellites. They most certainly aren’t running an end to end business for connectivity like SpaceX Starlink.
>Long $RKLB
This is an entirely different play vs ASTS. It’s reliant on satellite manufacturing and the upcoming Neutron.
In conclusion, you’re regarded.
> out of the hundreds of payloads in this rideshare rocket
As far as I can ascertain this was not a rideshare, and BB7 was the only payload. Even if had been a rideshare, it’s not like they threw the thing out the window halfway to orbit – if the primary payload didn’t make it into a stable orbit none of the others would’ve either. (Yes I know about the recent JAXA H3 payload adapter failure, but that was one in a million and even that didn’t lead to separation of the payload; it holed the hydrogen tank and the whole thing failed to reach orbit.)
Also, this incident is going to get New Glenn grounded for months. No way you’d do it on purpose.
Lol
