iridium is a massive deal for global connectivity, keen to see what rocketlab does with that satellite network

lol cope, satellite networks cost billions to maintain, this isn't a charity

Sam North2026-06-30T01:08:01.000Z

great more consolidation in aerospace, less competition means higher prices for us consumers
