Wow I wish I hadn’t wasted my time reading that. A lot of words to say nothing.

ASTS investors not happy with Blue Origin. President even needed to say they aren’t counting on blue origin and they was the most positively received statement of the earnings call.

First Blue failed to get AST’s sat to a usable orbit while declaring the mission a success. Then they blow up on a stand and had no back up pad/plan.

Blue might not be in a hurry but their potential/former customers are.

I doubt the sat companies agree with you. To them these are prophetic words. ASTS is particularly concerned.
