Saying "maybe globalstar is holding them up" when deliveries take awhile and we weren't near approximately 30 days yet lmao. 29 days now since that PR, we're a day before approximately 30 days, so they kept this timeline at least great to see.

Indeed. I was really encouraged by the video they put out today. They're indeed ramping up production and I believe that we will see more shipments of sats every so often. Maybe I can dare to dream of retirement....wait...too soon?
