“We're accounting for commercial missions, government missions, Allied missions all within the same system and that makes our costs lower and more efficient.”

“So, you know, you could build a satellite and launch it faster than you could actually connect with it from the ground, which just seemed absurd.”

“We take the similar path of proliferation, so making things, like, cheaper, faster to deploy, more volume manufacturing is kind of the solution to that, so that when a single site location goes down. That's, you know, it's not a catastrophe.”

“We need our antennas to fit in a standard shipping container that can go on a commercial United Airlines flight. And So it gets there the same day. We need our system to be able to fork off of that shipping container and land on a patch of dirt with no concret…”

“I mean, like, our biased answer is that ground is, is really critical for that. Obviously, it's not the only thing. Like, I think you know, to unlock the innovation, like, you know, power is a huge constraint for space, and so, you know, being able to do more …”

“Every satellite requires a connection point back to Earth. If you don't have it, you don't have a space mission. It literally is just like a rock in space.”

“If I were to, like, look forward into the space industry, I think you know, if you analogize to the internet, like, you have a couple of kind of platform infrastructure plays that really wind up becoming enmeshed across the internet. And, you know, it's not li…”

“And so really the only way to address fixing the ground segment was to do the whole thing.”

“I view it as like a zero percent. Threat.”
