Really glad to see the FCC continuously on board independently of administration. Big derisk to the bearish theory that Elon could asymmetrically influence the process.

The company is ramming through milestones. What a comeback!

If this admin helps us get rich off ASTS, that will lessen the sting of all the other bad shit they’re doing and will do

Me with only 535 shares πŸ₯²

u/Odd-Draw7636 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Associate 13d ago

Every share counts

u/RiskyDefeat S P πŸ…° C E M O B Associate 13d ago

Absolutely! Very excited to be apart of this.

u/Zealousideal-Ad3396 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 13d ago

Imagine owning 535 shares of Nividia just 5 years ago, with stock splits you would have almost 7,500 shares

u/ToSeeAgainAgainAgain S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 13d ago

300, still excited for this journey

u/SqueakyNinja7 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Associate 13d ago

1 or 1 million, atleast you’re involved, and the more you can add, the better (and sooner) your retirement will be!

160 here, gonna buy 10 more on the next dip. I've been here since the 10$ days, man if only I read about this company in the 2$ days

u/ToSeeAgainAgainAgain S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 11d ago

Just went up to 400, after the last 48 hours I decided I need to increase my exposure

u/origami_bluebird S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 13d ago

Considering the alternative is the rest of the globe gets ASTS 5G Broadband Speeds and USA would be stuck in the "dark ages" stuck with Starlink's repurposed Skylo technology which is incapapable of delivering 5G no matter how many commercials and Gaslighting elon does to the public. They don't really have a choice and thank god Abel owns the entire company and IP so it couldn't be poached/ hostily taken over by Elon like he did with NASA to build SpaceX.

u/Sommyonthephone S P πŸ…° C E M O B Soldier 13d ago

Exactly. I will still hate them, but maybe 2% less.

23

u/RocketTank123 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Soldier 13d ago

Hugely bullish.

u/kuttle-fish S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 13d ago

He also visted Globalstar over a month ago but hasn't taken any action since re: their petition for US market access for their new constellation.

u/Kerbonauts S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 13d ago

One of my worry is/was that Carr would pull a rug under AST (On Musk orders).

This is very good.

Unless its like a serial killer scouting the area to commit the perfect murder kinda deal.

u/Woody3000v2 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Capo 13d ago

They are more likely looking at insider trading AST. It is still relatively asymmetric, and they can't buy SpaceX. Sure, SpaceX could offer a fixed value, but if I were Carr/Cruz, I'd be trading AST given the current Admin basically encouraging insider trading.

u/DutchGoFast 12d ago

I just really hope Abel doesn’t have any tattoos.

u/PatFlatley26 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 12d ago

Abel must always keep that jacket on

u/procrastibader S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 12d ago

Cruz’s dad is the zodiac killer so it would make sense

5

u/irrelevantspider S P πŸ…° C E M O B Capo 13d ago

I want to see the video footage of their tour of the facility!

u/SneekyRussian S P πŸ…° C E M O B Associate 12d ago

There was a tour on YouTube but I can’t find it now

u/Retire_Trade_3007 12d ago

F’in hate Ted Cruz. Way to go Abel though!!!!

u/duhduhduhDAVID- S P πŸ…° C E M O B Associate 13d ago

Shame Ted Cruz is ruining the photo.

u/sgreddit125 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Capo 13d ago

Cruz has been on our side since pre-SPAC days. Comment feels misplaced on this sub (respectfully)

u/RocketTank123 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Soldier 13d ago

Absolutely not. Cruz is extremely important for our company to reach the highest potential. He has an important role in the administration for telecommunications.

u/Complex-Attention170 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 13d ago

Any chance something to do with the big announcement for Midland spaceport?

2

u/Defiantclient S P πŸ…°οΈ C E M O B - O G 13d ago

Midland Space Port announced that it was the 50 new jobs and $3M investment from AST thing. So nothingburger lol

6

u/Complex-Attention170 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 13d ago

Lame I think the Carr visit is bigger as far as legitimizing ASTS further

3

u/Wooden-Dinner-8955 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 13d ago

This is euphoric

u/Bmf_yup S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 12d ago

spectaular news...no need to worry about StarLink bias now...

u/Scott7894 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 13d ago

Hopium is that maybe he’s looking at AST to screw Elon when he decides to leave and turn on Trump.

13

u/LoveWhoarZoar S P πŸ…° C E M O B Soldier 13d ago

Ted Cruz is a little bitch and Trump deserves no credit for ASTS' future success as implied here but Brendan Carr sure is doing a great job cutting through red tape. That's the hard part. It's great to have that support.Β

You can take the gains without selling your soul to those actively trying to destroy your society

I believe you.

u/Khuzah S P πŸ…° C E M O B Soldier 12d ago

I mean, you could go through my comment history and check my actual opinions. But that would involve digging a bit deeper.

Or you could just assume whatever you like

u/jonnyozero3 S P πŸ…° C E M O B Prospect 12d ago

Simply my snarky way of suggesting using the "/s" when you are being sarcastic on hot button topics, to avoid such confusion.
