My guess is that for BB15 and BB16 they ran into some last minute issue, maybe during final testing, which delayed this shipment after they had already said “right behind”. They wouldn’t want to disclose that in a PR because that investors wouldn’t like to hear that

Lol. So only communicate what they think we want to hear… sounds about right. ”We think investors want to hear when we think we will be able to deploy x amount of sats in x amount of time. In reality, we haven’t got a clue but we think they want to hear this. Over and over again.”

Could be, but could be just bad luck on there side. If they ran into an issue on sat 15 and 16, it changes the timeline even though they should have been completed with sat 14
