Anpanman provides a raw, real-time reaction to the successful launch and orbital deployment of AST SpaceMobile satellites 8, 9, and 10. This episode captures the electric atmosphere of the SpaceMob community as they witness three of the largest phased arrays ever deployed in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) successfully separate from their Falcon 9 transport. The discussion dives deep into the structural engineering required to withstand six G&#x27;s of force and the immense weight capacity of the carbon fiber frames, effectively silencing industry critics who claimed stacking was technically unfeasible. Beyond the launch logistics, the analysis covers the potential for upcoming commercial agreements, particularly focusing on the anticipated non-exclusive deal with T-Mobile. By examining the recent joint venture between AT&amp;T and Verizon, Anpanman explores how AST SpaceMobile is positioned as the primary broadband solution for domestic telecom giants. The episode also honors the legacy of late community member Steve Larrison through the traditional launch-day Dr Pepper toast, marking a defining moment for ASTS shareholders and the future of global direct-to-device connectivity. Learn about the manufacturing ramp-up at the company&#x27;s facilities and what to expect from the upcoming Block 2 launches later this year. 00:00 Intro / Episode Start 00:26 Launch Excitement &amp; Early Reflections 01:14 Engineering the 6 G-Force Rigors 02:26 Debunking the Stacking Critics 05:36 The Global SpaceMob Community 06:31 Deployment Mechanics Explained 13:16 The Dr Pepper Tradition 15:50 Jay Leno Program &amp; Japan Hiring 26:24 Satellite Manufacturing Ramp 33:26 Bluebird 10 Deployment Success 35:21 Bluebird 9 Visual Confirmation 43:31 T-Mobile Deal Predictions 53:26 Addressing Industry Skeptics

ST Space Mobile Podcast We just basically turn your phone and be seamless. Regardless of where you are, we don't want the user even to know that it's connected by satellite. Listen, the opportunity that we have is very, very, very large. Hey everyone, good morning.

Figured I'd fire up a space while we wait for second engine burn. Oh man, I'm tired. I went to bed early. Actually had some... I had some substances to help me sleep. But I went to bed early before the kids so I could wake up for this. But we had a successful launch of Falcon 9, which was great. And everything looks phenomenal from what I can tell.

I'm listening to the, um, the ASD Space Mobile live broadcast, which the introduction video was outstanding. I'm going to clip that and post it later. But there are some great education and nuggets in there. For example, it looks like, um, I think someone had spoken to the company before, but the composite bluebirds, the amount of G's that they have to sustain is somewhere around six G's.

Either six or maybe it's even, yeah, yeah. Six G's I think. And so, um, in one of the graphics that they showed, they talked about how each bluebird or the bluebird on the bottom, once you've stacked eight of these things, um, that it can support an entire passenger airplane or the Statue of Liberty without the base, which is insane. Right.

So we're talking about carbon fiber structures, which obviously have been reinforced, but that's some insane engineering. Um, I think somebody on Reddit had talked about how the, you know, the, the people who, I guess, industry consultants and other, you know, armchair critics, uh, have talked about how stat stacking has been, is impossible.

Or, or, or, you know, whatever it is, right. Or that. Or that. SpaceX wouldn't allow the company to stack satellites, but, uh, there was a very clear explanation about how they test. This structural rigidity of these things. And, um, you have to put them through hell because before any rocket.

Company will allow you to put satellites on in whatever configuration they need to be ab...
