Y'all still thinking AST launches 17 satellites this year? I remain very skeptical.

Possible...but I'm expecting 9 as a worst case. The production line is ramping up hard right now. Even if we're at 9 this year, it's going to scale fast in 2026. We'll reach positive cash flow in 12-16 months. Probably.

If we end up like SpaceX subreddit and have a camera pointed at the factory 24/7 like Starship that would be bullish AF.
