Thanks Richard for sharing this. I liked it and I do not liked private business with the capability to launch rockets into space. What is going to happen when some rogue private business decide to launch an attack of rockets on a nation or a small group of protesters?

I liked the idea did launch of sixty satellites will improve the internet services and phone services for rural and outline areas of small and mid side cities, towns and countries around the world.

I just took the plunge. Put down a 99.00 deposit. We’re supposed to be getting service mid to late summer. Estimated speeds are 15 times faster than current provider and about 30.00/month cheaper. Keeping my fingers crossed.

We are actually at a resort in cocoa beach
We had no clue about the launch until our building started to shake like an earthquake

Too bad between the front desk at check in or out teenage son who is a nasa and Elon fan
( and with us ) didn’t clue us in on the launch

Would have had a great view from our top floor balcony

Just a little update to my previous post

We always get the blinking red message light on the room phone but never mess with it as it’s usually just the resort wanting an owner update or?

Played the message just now and it was a message telling us all about the launch so the resort did at least inform us

Now our son is another story
