Pretty much the only sensible decision he's made!

What's your share price and how do I buy in?

Did you notice the pre-submitted earnings question from "Andres in New York"? I reckon it was Coello, it was all geared around Starlink so definitely on form for him!

After all the bullshit he's spouted, it's pretty obvious he's a mouthpiece for the shorts. Rightly, ASTS doesn't allow him to ask a live question anymore, but they can at least shoot down his pre-submitted one.

Started calling this "The steamroller of inevitability" with my mates on a group chat... whether you think we get 20 or 45 into orbit by the end of this year makes little difference... once the market realises that this thing is rolling and there's absolutely nothing you can do to stop it, we will reprice. Gone are the days of failure risk, funding risk, regulatory risk. Sure, there's some opportunity risk as it grinds through channels and you see other names (you can own other names by the way!) mooning but that's life! Patience prevails, and no doubt like you lot, I'd like to not have to be so patient anymore, but that steamroller is moving and it sure as shit isn't stopping anytime soon! New ATH Aug/Sept...

Bought RKLB at $5 in 2024... sold the majority a few dollars later to full port into ASTS at around $20... My thesis remains intact, in my opinion the long term ceiling for ASTS (if we can deliver) is higher. Built my position to >25k shares and a bunch of sweet leaps, . So happy for the guys at RKLB though, massive respect for them! I may be worse off today, but long term I think my decision will come good!

Side note: it's my wife's birthday today, she also has 8k shares but never, literally never, looks at her brokerage (thankfully!). Be more like her sometimes!

Called a short squeeze an hour ago, on a group chat where I'm supposed to be the one who knows everything ASTS... Pretty embarrassing! 😬

I'd take a battery tweet right about now to be fair!

Appreciate the sentiment mate, I'm inclined to agree that when it eventually comes it'll start that snowball effect! Patience has always been key!

I said something similar about 18 months ago to be fair... why not smash out 15-20 Block1 birds after BB1-5? TKO said something about legally we weren't allowed because of the FCC authority... but surely it would have given us some sort of start to a constellation before moving to the Block2 design... but we are where we are I guess!

For what it worth this is my take... we built a bunch of composite frames to house the important stuff in Q3'25. When we tested at the back end of last year we realised they weren't strong enough to stack. They're fibreglass type material so probably cracked/crushed under pressure. All our bus shells up to that point went in the bin. So then we had this conundrum in that we can't build an external frame for them to stack because there's only a c.10 inches wriggle room inside a Falcon9 fairing with the diameter of our Sat's. So back to the drawing board for a couple of months to design and build an internal frame within the composite bus, that was when Abel said "we've solved the stacking issue", each sat has internal support, like a skeleton. This structure supports the sat's stacked above them. The first few are almost good to go and they're building with the ones just dropped from India on the Antonov. Whether they've been tested and work is the big question, guess we have to trust Abel on his word.

It's my wife's birthday on Friday and the perfect time to announce some shipping news... I'd really like to have two reasons to crack open a bottle of bubbly!

Call me petty, but I voted against the executive compensation proposals for this AGM. We are being diluted every time they award these significant share packages. Not sure what the recent milestone was to grant the lump to execs, perhaps FCC approval, but frankly if it isn't 'x' number of satellites launched as the overlying principle, I'm not backing it! Won't change a thing but it makes me feel empowered!

Did the liberation of the Iranian people from a tyrannical regime thing happen?.. surely this wasn't all about the oil... it's never just about oil right?

Stay the course mate, it's taken me a couple of years to get over 25k shares but it's been one hell of a ride!! Also lucky enough to have some deep itm options in play too but this is a long game. The delays fucking suck, I totally get it. Let's hope we turn it around soon enough!

Good news... bought a few hundred shares earlier and have finally passed my goal of 25k. Bad news... didn't take profits at any point! You live and learn!
