I flew down to Kennedy Space Center for the BlueBird 7 launch and honestly it was one of the most insane weekends of my life. The SpaceMob showed up — people flew in from Australia, we took over the Marriott bar Saturday night, got on buses at 3AM, met Scott, watched Abel give a talk where he dropped the 150 Mbps number and the whole room lost it.Then the launch happened. New Glenn went up, booster landed clean, everyone was celebrating. I went back and took a nap feeling great.Woke up to the Blue Origin update.In this episode I take you through the full weekend — what it felt like on the ground, what the energy was like inside the compound, and what it means to be part of this community in person. Then I break down exactly what went wrong with New Glenn’s upper stage, what Abel said publicly on X, why the FAA grounded Blue Origin, and what the batch launch plan looks like from here with BlueBirds 8 through 10 shipping in 30 days.BlueBird 7 is gone. But this story is just getting started.🔔 Subscribe for weekly AST SpaceMobile coverage
