Hello Robert:

I am not sure that we will go to $6, but single
digits is a virtual certainty. The failed launch hit
GSTRF at its most vulnerable time and it involved
25% of the entire constellation. If this launch
had been successful, and the next had failed, GSTRF
would have had 20 sats in orbit and it would have been
easy to repair the damage by using 3 Soyuz to go up to
32.

Even at current prices, G* has twice the market capitalization
of I*, which has all its sats in orbit. How long can this
disparity last? Not that I advocate putting any money in
I*, since I do not like their system.

There is essentially no room left for error in G*'s
launch schedule, so that the risk has become commensurate
with what venture capitalists face when they fund
startups. The rewards need to be made proportional to
the risk, which can only occur if G* is repriced lower.

The bottom line is that the failed launch was not
an ordinary launch-- it was the key launch for G*
This is why I am reacting so strongly.

Best regards,

Bernard Levy

PS: The above comments apply only to G* -- not LOR.
LOR has several upcoming launches by other units,
which if successful, should provide good support
for its stock price.
