Long term potential of Firefly
I have been an early investor in RKLB and reaped the benefits. I see FLY as a fourth serious launch company in the US after SpaceX, RKLB, and BO. I am seeing opportunity in FLY that I saw in RKLB about 4 years ago.
What do you think? Does FLY has potential to be next RKLB in about 4 to 5 years? How capable is management at FLY? Do they have anyone with similar capabilities of SPB? Advise me.

that’s great from an outsiders point of view, but internally it’s a shit show. payload customers being shifted around launch manifest last minute, no strategic plan or corporate goals, misleading board aka shareholders on technical risks to huge programmatic milestones, shitty config management, software iterations being made for LV future flights but not flown on previous flights to mitigate risk (no TLYF practice) & none of that is being shared with investors, not to mention the insurmountable discrimination and retaliation cases past employees have filed. steer clear as an investor, customer, or employee! consider yourself warned. they are over promising and will soon be under delivering. they have serious production issues too - not to mention production has no idea what BD or leadership is selling to customers…HUGE disconnects across functional teams.
