In this week's episode, Kook tackles the brutal sentiment across satellite and space stocks, comparing AST SpaceMobile's chart to Rocket Lab, Redwire, and Planet Labs to argue this is dispersion within a sector selloff, not a bubble bursting. He pushes back on technical analysis-driven bearishness and explains why he remains focused on fundamentals over short-term chart patterns. Kook covers the latest AST SpaceMobile production update, with Bluebird 14 complete and satellites 15 and 16 nearing completion, plus work-in-progress now extending through satellite 48. He highlights the 2degrees New Zealand mobile test as further third-party validation of direct-to-cell technology, and explains the hybrid network architecture that has MNOs excited about closing coverage gaps. The episode also digs into the Grain Management spectrum opportunity flagged by Deutsche Bank, valuation comparisons against AT&amp;T, and the emerging data centers in space narrative following Star Cloud's $250 million raise and ASTS's own compute capability plans for satellites 47 and 48. Kook wraps with launch capacity updates on SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Japan's H3 rocket, plus a theory on the $100 billion Situational Awareness unwind driving the recent collapse in implied volatility. 00:00 Introduction - market sentiment hits rock bottom 02:19 Comparing $ASTS to Rocket Lab's chart pattern 06:51 Bluebird satellite production update 09:00 Why Kook ignores near-term guidance misses 13:05 Charts vs fundamentals - looking through the windshield 18:32 2degrees New Zealand direct-to-cell demo 22:00 Hybrid network architecture and coverage gaps 24:31 Grain Manage…","meta_description":"AST SpaceMobile hits satellite 48 in production as Bluebird 14 completes - Kook breaks down why $ASTS still has 10-20X upside despite the selloff.
