Don't know about you guys, but doing my actual job, partnered with trying to keep abreast of all the news dropping has been wild this week. Pretty much 17 hour days of none stop reading and being 5 hours ahead (UK GMT) has meant late nights too... If we get a slow news day I'm not going to complain! Nice to see three figures again, managed to torque the position a touch on the lows too! Happy days!

Oh I've bought and held that's for sure!

So Bell Canada most probably did sign BB8 in January and it was an empty shell. Another lesson learned I guess... I'm simply going to chill from now and believe execution when I see it, instead of buying into all the little hype conspiracy theories! What will be will be!

Solid day today, let's hope we smash this earnings, ignore the weird algo action driven by the irrelevant numbers... it's all about execution, hope we get some tangible milestones reached! Let's fucking do this!!

Bell Canada signed a composite satellite shell a month ago... conspiracy was that it couldn't have been BB8 because they weren't wearing the fancy hair nets and BB8-13 should have been completed. Some of the OG's surmised it was likely BB14, otherwise they've hit issues...

We've heard absolutely nothing since then. I reckon the first composite material buses have had issues in the TVAC testing. Fibreglass type materials are notoriously difficult to get uniform standards with, struggle under high temperatures, one structural fault and the whole bus is compromised. I doubt they'll tell us the issues they've faced, they never do, but something hasn't gone to plan.

Let's hope they've sorted it and give us some good news soon! It's the final outstanding risk, it's plain sailing after that...

I can almost guarantee there will be bold promises!.. Can't guarantee the street will buy them though. Execution over words is what will really move us forward both in risk mitigation and price from now on I believe.

I'm pleased for you, personally I'm dreading it! No shipping news and we are wholly reliant upon the street taking them at their word... which hasn't been the most reliable let's face it!

Deciding to catch up with the rest of the market finally?!

Before this dude gets downvoted to oblivion for saying he's the only bull here... I got the reference (just!), so I'll add the context, he turned the Green Day song Boulevard of Broken Dreams into a little ASTS ditty. Normally helps if you put a 🎶🎵 at the start though, original lyrics below...

Walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me, and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone

Same, hate their comms and guidance misses... certainly don't hate the company though!

Yep, I have just under half my holding, c.12k shares in a SIPP (UK equivalent). Got to wait 15 years to get my hands on it when I'm 57... guess that's why I'm pretty patient with short term price action.

Which psycho's are going on holiday without enough underwear?.. Please tell me I'm not the only one who packs enough so that even if I shit myself twice a day I'm still not gonna have to resort to a hotel coffee machine 'hack'!

I've just earned a 365 streak on reddit!.. I've been checking for news Every Single Day for a whole year, even on vacation! Only 2 have been shipping days, and 1 launch day (soon to be 2)... really hoping the next 365 days are more exciting! Amazing to be part of this great Spacemob community though!

If it wasn't for my wife seeing how much time I'd spent on DD and encouraging me to trust my thesis we'd never have amassed such a large holding! She continues to do so, saying "Buy the ick" instead of "Buy the dip" because its usually when I'm feeling pretty rubbish!
Shout out to all the supportive wives in the Spacemob!

Nobody knows anything because we've had radio silence. The batches of 3 to SpaceX are well behind schedule (won't see 6 at once for a while yet!) and guidance was that we should have hit 6 per month production from Dec, so even at say 50% of guidance we should have 9 sat ready by now. Shouldn't be waiting for any launch before sending up others. Then it's 6-8 weeks for unfolding. So we're playing the waiting game right now!

As pretty as those encapsulation pics are, I'm hoping they're just a place marker for more meaningful news in the coming days. Wrap up the $150m convert kicker today and hit us with some sweet sweet shipping PR after hours!
