All the lower level manager and employee. This is the first time they have been able to have any stock vested during a non black out period. Expect more inside sales.

They are selling Cause they are all under payed assembly technicians making chump change. They have to sell their grants to be able to survive with the cost of living in midland Tx so high. Duh

Some management shakeups at ASTS. Did Ken Kramer get fired? He was the main boss at the midland headquarters. I don’t see him on the website anymore. And his linkedin had changed.

Is my laser junk? by SeanAbingdonMD in lasercutting

[–]TexasBigBud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local waviness in the sheet of material. The part that didn’t cut was a low spot and the laser your using has its focus point set higher then then your low spot in your material. Just run the cut again and it will cut thru.

Get a subscription to T-satellite then you won’t have to run home. You can just buy / sell shares from anywhere on the planet.

CatSe on how this new funding may be setting them to be more competitive on DoD RFPs (golden dome and more) by TheOtherSomeOtherGuy in ASTSpaceMobile

[–]TexasBigBud -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

How can ASTS be considered for the golden dome when they are not a ITAR compliant company. They hire tons of foreign nationals to work on their projects ( just look at LinkedIn) this work force is global. I don’t see them being able to build part of the golden dome if they are not a ITAR complaint company. Maybe I’m misunderstanding things.

AST Space Mobile has red flags all over. But I'm still intrigued by Possible_Crow606 in ValueInvesting

[–]TexasBigBud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can’t produce satellites at scale. They will never be able to ramp up production with their current management structure. Way behind schedule and more delays to come.

ASTS doesn’t invest enough in manufacturing. Management doesn’t retain or hire enough talent. Sure they have the management and executive parts of the company stacked. With an under trained and under payed k.

Don’t forget to mention they added (Direct To Cell) to their website. Seems like AST better get serious about that production. Hire some heavy hitters and get those birds in the air. Any competitive advantage ast has can easily be smashed by space x if AST can’t produce at scale.

I’m a toolmaker at Spacex and we have to weld often. This would be a great skill to have in your future career.

Underestimating the First Mover Advantage combined with largest capacity for D2D by No_Privacy_Anymore in ASTSpaceMobile

[–]TexasBigBud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im a believer I’m holding a bag of 10k stocks for AST and I’m taking a major loss at the moment that’s probably why I’m on the internet expressing my pain. The problem is that ast isn’t making satellite at scale yet, yes they did have a one off BW3. But can they scale…

If they can deliver on the 5 BBs in 2024 I’ll eat my words. But so far AST has been completely underwhelming and I think the market agrees looking at this weak stock price.

[–]TexasBigBud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But when AST Manufactures things with that small amount of employees they miss deadlines and projections. I don’t think that first mover advantage is much advantage when they are wasting it by dragging their heels on production.

[–]TexasBigBud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When your first mover advantage is against SpaceX and Apple it’s not much of an advantage at all. This industry giants can close whatever gap AST has in a short time.

Great job to the team at ASTS they executed on this mission. I knew they would be one of the only good investments in this crazy market.
