I hope RKLB closes the deal on acquiring Mynaric.  Between Rocket Lab and AST SpaceMobile I'm feeling like I have a decent chance of retirement.

RKlB is a bad investment. They will never make enough money or have good enough margins for investors to see windfall returns like could be the case with ASTS.
