BUT AS MUSK TAKES ON TWITTER FOR
A DIFFERENT AND FAMILIAR
COMPETITOR THEY ARE TAKING ON
ELON MUSK.
AMAZON.TWO HALF% AT THE MOMENT
AFTER ANNOUNCING IT IS MOVING TO
WHAT IS CALLED PROJECT KUIPER
THE PLAN IS TO LAUNCH 3000
SATELLITES TO BE THE INTERNET
CONDUCTIVITY BROADBAND
CONDUCTIVITY ACROSS THE PLANET
PARTICULARLY TO THE UNDERSERVED
PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD THIS
DIRECTLY WOULD COMPETE WITH
SPACEX STERLING SATELLITE WHICH
IS FACING ADDITIONAL HURDLES OF
A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT WE HAVE
FRANCE’S HIGHEST MINISTRY TO
COURT REVERSING A FRENCH
REGULATORS APPROVAL THAT GRANTED
FREQUENCY BANDS TO THE SATELLITE
CONSTELLATION SO I CAN SERVE
FRENCH USERS OVERLOOKING
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS SAYING YOU
DID NOT GIVE IT ENOUGH TIME FOR
PUBLIC COMMENT.
IN THE MEANTIME AMAZON IS
CALLING PROJECT ONE OF THE
BIGGEST DEALS EVER CONTRACTS FOR
83 LAUNCHES WITH THREE DIFFERENT
ROCKET COMPANIES INCLUDING JEFF
BEZOS BLUE ORIGIN, THE PLAN IS
TO LAUNCH TWO SATELLITES BY THE
SHEER, CAN HE BE ELON MUSK
SPACEX EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE
COMING IN FROM BEHIND I WANT TO
BRING IN ANDREW CHEN THE CEO OF
PER CURIAM THAT LAUNCH THE FIRST
ATF TICKER SYMBOL EFL IN THE
ASTRONAUT HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE
TOM JONES.
TOM YOU HAD YOUR SHARE OF
SPACEWALKS AND LAUNCHES AND
EFFORTS INTO SPACE, DO YOU THINK
IT’S A POSSIBILITY FOR AMAZON TO
CATCH UP THAT QUICKLY AND LAUNCH
IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF THIS
YEAR WHAT KIND OF INFRASTRUCTURE
DO YOU NEED TO GET THIS GOING?
>> THERE IS ROOM FOR AMAZON TO
CATCH UP BUT THE LAUNCHING
CAPACITY IS THERE WITH ELON MUSK
ALLIANCE AND BLUE ORIGIN AND
HOUR BEHIND SCHEDULE I THINK
YOU’LL START FLYING BY THE END
OF THIS YEAR LAUNCHPAD 0 THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTRAL AND
KENNEDY SPACE CENTRAL AND
CONNATE CANAVERALCAPECANAVERAL I
LAUNCHERS ARGUED TO BE THE WAVE
OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN ONE OR
TWO OF THEM WILL COME THROUGH.
>> ANDREW THIS HAS GOT TO HAVE
YOU EXCITED, IT SHOWS THE
PRIVATE SECTOR IS ALL IN ON
COMPETING WHEN IT COMES TO DOING
THINGS IN SPACE THIS HAS TO BE
IMPORTANT FOR THE LONG-TERM
FUTURE BUT TELL ME HOW YOU VIEW
THIS KNOWING THAT AMAZON HAS
AMAZON WORKSPACE AND AWS AND
BLUE ORIGIN NOT BEHIND IT BUT
PARTNERSHIPS THAT HAS BOEING
TOGETHER HELPING.
>> WERE THRILLED TO SEE A DEAL
THE SIZE IS NOT A SURPRISE THAT
THIS WOULD BE ANNOUNCED BUT IS
EXCITING TO SEE THE
DIVERSIFICATION OF PROVIDERS
THAT ARE BEING USED THIS MASSIVE
PROJECT LIKE YOU SAID THE LAUNCH
ALLIANCE WHICH ARE COMPANIES AND
UFOS AND YOU LOOK AT ARYAN SPACE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS OWNERS
SPACE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS OWNERS
OF THAT IN UFO HOLDINGS AIRBUS
AND OUT OF ITALY THIS IS
BENEFITING MANY COMPANIES NOT
JUST THE ONE THAT YOU SAW ON
PAPER IT IS ALSO POTENTIALLY
GOING TO PUT A CONSTRICTION ON
THE SUPPLY OUT THERE FROM LAUNCH
COMPANIES INTO HAS AN EFFECT
THAT OTHER COMPANIES MAY NEED TO
LOOK TO OTHER PROVIDERS LIKE
ROCKET LAB THAT CAN BENEFIT
THOSE COMPANIES AS WELL.
LIZ: ABSOLUTELY WE SHOULD TAKE A
LOOK STAR STOCK THAT IS IN THE
UFO.
TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU KNOW, YOU
CANNOT JUST LAUNCH SATELLITE
COMPANIES, YOU NEED TO TEST
ROCKETS AND WORK ON THE
FUNCTIONING OF THE REPLANNING OF
ALL OF THIS THIS LEADS ME TOO
BELIEVE JEFF BEZOS DOESN’T DO
ANYTHING HALFWAY HE’S PROBABLY
BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR QUITE
SOME TIME.
>> RIGHT TO LAUNCH 10000
SATELLITES OVER THE NEXT DECADE
OR SO INTO MINUTES A
CONSTELLATION M USER SOMETHING
THAT YOU CAN HOLD IN YOUR HANDS
AND RECEIVED THE SIGNAL ON THE
GROUND THE BIG?
IS THE ROCKETS HE WOULD LIKE TO
LAUNCH 100 AT A TIME WE HAVE NOT
SEEN THE FIRST LAUNCH IN THE
GENERATION WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE
THOSE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF
YEARS AT THE LATEST BECAUSE OF
THE NEED FOR SPACE FORCE AND
NASA SCIENCE AND SOME OF THE
ROCKETS FROM THE ALLIANCE THE
BULLPEN WILL TAKE THE PLACE OF
THE STAND BY WHICH PROVIDE
SUPPLY TO THE NATIONAL SPACE
STATION.
WE NEED THESE ROCKETS TO COME
ONLINE AND I THINK AMAZON IS
BETTING THE OTHER USERS WILL
HELP PULL US ALONG AND CREATE
THE LAUNCH RATE TO ESTABLISH A
CONSTELLATION.
LIZ: JUST A FOLLOW-UP ON THAT
DON’T YOU NEED ON THE GROUND
INFRASTRUCTURE, YOU ARE TALKING
ABOUT GOING TO CAPE CANAVERAL,
YOU ARE DEALING WITH NASA I
FOLLOWED TESLA IN SPACEX SINCE
2005 - 2006 WERE ELON WAS
WORKING FOR YEARS TRYING TO
CONVINCE NASA TO GIVE HIM A SHOT
THIS TAKES QUITE SOME TIME,
DOESN’T NOT.
>> TRUE THE BLUE ORIGIN HAS A
LAUNCHPAD AND CAPE CANAVERAL IN
THE EUROPEANS IN THE SPACE
COMPANY JUST LOST THEIR SOUL
SUPPLIER IN RUSSIA SO THEY HAVE
EXTRA CAPACITY.
ALSO DO YOU L.A. DEVA PATTED
CAPE CANAVERAL THAT THE USE FOR
LAUNCHING AND AS IT PHASES OUT
THE OTHER ONE WILL PHASE IN SOME
OF THESE ARE THERE AND YOU HAVE
AN ESTABLISHED TRACKING RANGE
SAFETY ESTABLISHMENT.
AND FOR STRUCTURE IS NOT A
PROBLEM.
LIZ: ANDREW, AS YOU LOOK AT THE
FUTURE OF THESE NAMES AND UFO
HAS BEEN THE FIRST TO PUT THEM
ALL TOGETHER I HAS NOT DONE
STELLAR SO TO SPEAK BUT WERE UP
ABOUT 7% THIS MONTH BUT OVER THE
PAST YEAR OR SO WE CAN LOOK AT THE CHART WHEN THE KICKOFF AND A
THE CHART WHEN THE KICKOFF AND A
MORE MEANINGFUL WAY.
ANDREW?
LIZ: I THINK WE LOST HIS
MICROPHONE.
WE WILL END ON A POSITIVE NOTE
7% WITH JUST A FEW DAYS INTO
