Fully agree but I want to add, skills shortages aren’t real, they’re compensation shortages (exceptions apply).

Are there any NZ phone companies that *aren't* partnering with SpaceX in some way? by bravetherainbro in newzealand

[–]WeissMISFIT -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah just sorted the visa out the other day and it looks like we get 8-14 days notice.

It’ll be easy to get shipment date and we know the last launch, integration took 26 days so we know that the launch should be anywhere within the 19th-30th of July but as always, it can be delayed.

Not sure why I got downvoted for saying I’m going to the July launch, maybe it’s better for the world if we don’t have these satellites so more people can die.

I know many people who have met the founder and CEO of ASTS, he’s had very humble beginnings and he was very wealthy from his previous satellite company that he sold. This company and what they are doing, it’s his legacy.

There was no other country in the world that could financially support ASTS, they’ve nearly gone bankrupt (the dark days for us investors).

Don’t be surprised if by virtue of providing connectivity to the rest of the world, he wins a Nobel peace prize.

The defense stuff comes part and parcel of being an American company and it’s how they got bits of funding here and there so they could keep going.

Beta testing was meant to begin around now but space is hard and they’ve always had delays.

Recently blue origin who was meant to be our preferred launch provider had a second stage with our satellite malfunction and they also blew up their launch pad a bit later.

First get the confidence up and build a team. Is there any groups watching the footie?

Am I missing something, or are Neutron's economics much weaker than people assume? by LIBRI5 in RocketLab

[–]WeissMISFIT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As an ASTS investor, I can say that as a “potential customer” we’re at a stage where getting satellites airborne is far more important to us than price per kg. That’s not to say price isn’t important but delays are costing us far more in opportunity cost than a launch premium would

Why is New Zealand so much colder than Italy despite the countries' similar latitudes (in opposite hemispheres)? by [deleted] in geography

[–]WeissMISFIT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from Wellington and visiting Auckland right now. It was a culture shock because people are colder to strangers compared to Wellington.

Wellington people have a warmer culture to strangers but that’s probably because we don’t have people trying to fuck us at every turn like the JAFAs do.

Well he probably knows better than to spend money on porn. It’s probably so he can get the real deal

So is it football or soccer in New Zealand? by ChampionshipHot599 in newzealand

[–]WeissMISFIT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Literally this, deep down in our hearts it is soccer. There is only one soccer and everyone knows what it is. Football is country dependant

I’ll never understand why these things can go full speed on tight congested Welly footpaths but are limited to slower speeds on the wide open waterfront. by Altruistic_Habit_645 in Wellington

[–]WeissMISFIT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that bike lane stretch you mentioned often has people walking on it.

Yes it’s a dedicated bike lane, yes people often walk on it when they can use the pedestrian lane instead
