What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20
Wait for stronger evidence
- Why
- The technology is impressive on paper and a real Block 2 launch (BlueBird 8/9/10) succeeded, but a satellite loss, launch-vehicle bottlenecks, an earnings miss, and analyst-flagged target slippage make continuous service unproven.
- Next
- Wait for AST to demonstrate continuous (non-intermittent) commercial coverage from a deployed Block 2 fleet and confirmed funding before treating it as a viable connectivity dependency.
