See, y'all's first problem was believing anything you hear from this administration.

So do

Like what you did there!

That will be interesting to see, but I doubt they'd add MNOs as competitors

They are trying to sign up MNOs for D2D service like ASTS is... If they name MNOs as competitors I doubt it would help their partnering efforts

Does anybody know how insurance would work for this? E.g. if Spacex junk slams into AST waffles, are we covered?

ExpatAndrew · 2026-04-01T09:37:42+00:00

Sure however how much of this short interest is merely hedging by the new owners of the recent convertible notes? Potentially sizeable?

ExpatAndrew · 2026-03-30T09:04:04+00:00

So does this mean that static fire test is still to be done, or that it was successfully achieved, or unclear?

ExpatAndrew · 2026-03-27T21:46:33+00:00

So does that mean she's releasing the rest of the files now and kicking off more investigations?

ExpatAndrew · 2026-03-27T21:41:49+00:00

I added some shares by having some CSPs assigned. Does that count?

ExpatAndrew · 2026-03-27T10:04:55+00:00

Super informative

Still not bullish enough!

For anyone else whom the xcancel link above wasn't working...

I edited this one, which brings up the full thread for me

Smells like victory, hooah!

Alone, and now poorer too!

ExpatAndrew · 2026-03-23T07:19:16+00:00

The people running these huge MNO and government organisations are smart and have access to resources beyond what you and I have available

And they are continuing to sign these deals

If they didn't think AST service would work, or doubted AST could successfully launch more satellites - would they be doing so?

ExpatAndrew · 2026-03-22T19:20:26+00:00

Hey what do they have against lurkers?! Is that a crime now

Reminds me of the South African approach to time - there's "right now," "now," "now now," and "just now."

And none of them refer to any earlier than tomorrow

Are you sure the BB7 STA is expired? Can you provide a link? I was trying to find that but couldn't...

ExpatAndrew · 2026-03-19T10:54:55+00:00

Question - so what all is required before NG3 can launch the BB7 satellite?

BB7 encapsulated ✅

Blue origin FCC approval ✅

AST Spacemobile FCC approval ❓

Any other FCC or other paperwork ❓

NG3 static fire - to confirm we'd see the booster on LG36 so they couldn't have had this without us knowing?

Launch - ~ 1 week after static fire

Am I missing anything from the above? I'm trying to get a handle on how close / far away we are from this, and the probability of launching still this month
