(will turn this into a more detailed brief for the whole board so you all can have talking points for our #3 faq)
Oh yes, you'll get asked about Starlink. They've got several problems. It's a.... chain....
* They have to launch 14k (or about) satellites by end of 2021
* They need the Falcon Heavy todo so
* The launch facility for Falcon Heavy is right next to a residential area.
* Said occupants of residential area don't wish to (all) clear out
* Until said residential area is cleared out, no flame trenches, and no
launch licenses.
Well ok, they make that happen through whatever arm twisting. Ok, cool...
then we have the matter of spectrum (which is mostly held by OneWeb,
which Britain/India just picked up for a cool billion or so)
Ok, they pay 10 billion for that or whatever.... (if they don't lose out
to Mr Bezos, boys and their... contests *sigh*)
Launch windows are getting shorter and shorter , more space junk and
orbiting assets in LEO are compounding the issue
Oh yeah.... and no IOT on satellites (signal strength being a core factor)
In short, the field is pretty wide open, and I am confident that if we show a clear and concise plan for managing execution risk, we can raise from willing pools of risk capital.

#### Ancilliary SAAS / rental lines of business
