Space connectivity with handheld devices is coming. In an interesting turn, it is the handheld devices that are changing to reach existing space networks. Space-based networks for global data flow will become increasingly common in the coming decades. https://ow.ly/Swxa50TzGc0

Radio spectrum in space is like real estate on Earth: it is finite and a strategic commodity. Until the advent of optical communications, RF spectrum will remain a contested commodity in space. https://ow.ly/WXHi50TzG5X

Space may still seem like a distant frontier, but the space economy is already deeply integrated into modern daily life. It forms a crucial backbone for many societal pillars such as communications, media, data, science and defense. It’s also becoming a fiercely competitive domain and a key arena for important public-private partnerships. https://ow.ly/an3a50TzFZ2

Space capabilities are built on a foundation of supplier networks. The health of these supply chains is fundamental to the health of the overall industry. While large capabilities, like launch vehicles, capture most of the attention, smaller suppliers are the heart of that success. https://ow.ly/zmBP50TzFWY

Congratulations to our launch partner, D-Orbit, on their successful raise! D-Obit and Phantom have a series of launch agreements in place. We look forward to flying D-Orbit's payloads on our Phantom Daytona launch vehicle! https://ow.ly/zEG150Tyvsu

Commercial space technology and capabilities will play an increasingly important role in military exploitation of the space domain, reducing R&D burdens on government agencies and lowering overall costs to the agencies. https://ow.ly/HYSV50TvR8x

Today, we stand on the shoulders of greatness: those early space pioneers. Space 2.0 carries forward that spirit of taking risks, seeking rewards, and being 100% dedicated to the mission. https://ow.ly/7n5o50TvR7q

Congratulations to Telesat for lining up a challenging amount of money to raise! The world will use up all the bandwidth that w can place in space and will further drive the launch and spacecraft markets. https://ow.ly/MIsJ50TqyMz

Today, over 500 exabytes per day traverse space to the Earth. By 2030, over 2500 exabytes per day will originate or pass through space. Space network costs decrease with time, while terrestrial networks increase in cost. Starlink, and other networks like it, will become the dominant force in the global data movement. https://ow.ly/bxpw50TqyBF

The SWARM constellation proved that satellites can talk directly to devices in a cost-effective manner. SpaceX is sunsetting this constellation (acquired) to make room for higher-priority & more profitable Starlink capabilities. https://ow.ly/UpAf50TnQfJ
