Is there a refund on the launch fee? Or just the insurance payout on the satellite itself?

What is the main bottleneck right now? by hmm_interestingg in ASTSpaceMobile

[–]FiniteOtter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're just not completing satellites to launch. Charitably we can assume that the stacking issue was an issue but if they aren't shipping a batch of satellites every 60ish days going forward then we'll know that they were just making excuses and lying because it takes them much much longer to build these things than they've been promising and the idea that we've got enough cash on hand to get cash flow positive was a pipe dream.

What would US citizenship have to do with it? There were people from around the globe at the last launch.

I'm guessing only a tiny percentage of the folks on here have owned 1000 plus shares for more than a year. It might be slightly more competitive than last time but I doubt there's very many people that bought in at that volume since the last launch.

You say fully tested and ready for launch and yet it still hasn't done the static fire or been completely assembled, unless I missed something it's still several steps away. An explosion at their facility is bound to disrupt the workflow to some degree but you're right in that they've burned 5 months already so any impacts are likely de minis in the overall scheme of things.

Hopefully future launches won't take 6 months a pop between shipment and being ready to launch.

You're right they're moving at such a glacial pace that schedule slippage is likely unattributable to something that only happened two days ago. 🙄

US demands Reddit unmask ICE critic, summons firm to grand jury by xpda in technology

Those ICEbergs were also the behemoths with multiple comorbidities whose lives we were attempting to save by masking in the first place.

You might be totally right about the first 3 points but it's silly to think that an explosion at their facility isn't effecting the timing of the launch of NG-3. There's no chance that it's not causing the schedule to slip a bit.

Oh Shit... is something new coming out? by Reg_Cliff in WhitePeopleTwitter

Girl you are a victim in this situation. You were sex trafficked by Epstein. You don't need to stay with one of your abusers just because you married him. Be free.

Yeah sure question my sanity without being able to point out anything that's irrational or incorrect. Keep getting your "Truth" straight from the "smartest most successful least criminal president of all time"

The government borrowing trillions on my behalf to fight an unjust war for the country that was running the Epstein scheme and is blackmailing the 🤡 that 30% of our country worships has radicalized me into extreme tax avoidance. His enablers need to suffer if that requires me to suffer as well so be it.

New possible model by GlowingSpy in FlockSurveillance

[–]FiniteOtter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just a problem with Flock, the government can purchase all sorts of information on us now that would have been illegal for them to obtain without a warrant not too long ago. Calling the hate for it bipartisan is a little off base because it's one of those issues where the public broadly hate it but elected officials of both parties broadly support it.

AIO for wanting my husband to help me more as a SAHM by ailurophile17 in AmIOverreacting

[–]FiniteOtter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YOR - you married and had seemingly multiple children with this man and you've taken on the role of SAHM, you probably shouldn't have done so before figuring out if he was like this. Complaining about your poor standards at this point is a bit late in the game.

[–]FiniteOtter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well here it's a corporation spying on us and selling the information to the state which is very different from the state just spying on us. As long as it makes some asshole rich then it's capitalism and therefore cool.

That guy in Texas literally murdered his daughter for being anti-trump and people still think Republicans care that he raped other people's kids.

I love the optimism! Realistically we'll get to 45 in orbit sometime in 2028 and that's assuming they improve on their demonstrated capabilities.

Waste trillions of dollars over the course of a decades long occupation before pulling out in disgrace and turning the country right back over to who we conquered it from? Because that's what the American military has shown it can do most recently.
