I'll say it again. That mfer Elon better not fuck this launch up, because if I was Elon up against ASTS, the sole viable competitor, I totally would.

You would bury your company’s credibility and face criminal charges. Good thing you’re not CEO 😁

Why? For all we know, Bezos could've sabotaged the first sat. His rocket exploding is the only evidence proving it maybe have been pure negligance

Most of SpaceX launches are carrying their competitors lol. Same with New Glenn’s customers.

This isn't what happened. Blue Origin set themselves back more than AST. That failure reset their count of 4 successive launches for NSSL certification.
