You may be right, this case looks less than clear. I'm mostly playing devils' advocate here, as newspapers, lawyers and shortsellers usually have their own axe to grind and are continually searching for good David against Goliath

To give you an executive's perspective on this one: I'm saying the same to my employees (and I mean it). But there are two types of ways this happens in reality: Case 1: An actual smart and caring employee bypasses the chain to gi

In the end, it's all of that and more. Geosynchronous is just too far away for good latency, plus the signal is weak and the bandwidth is saturated quickly. So low earth orbit it is, but that meant doing several technology breakthrough

While I don‘t disagree about the split between countries being off, I always questioned the notion of other countries needing to spend more. Why shouldn‘t we all spend less instead? Compared to almost any non-superpower status nation, the U
