People are always surprised.

They think Starlink is a recent invention.

I mean, Starlink's around since 2003, and they do control and have made serious inroads into the launching of satellites and the control of satellites.

And that's for the profitability.

It's a near monopoly position on the lower range of satellites that Musk and SpaceX have.

Taking Stock

Taking Stock
