They need to make it a relay race and hand off to a Kenyan.

Viasat is done and will never recover. The stock will never go back to where it was. Maybe up to $15 but that’s it.
LEO is dominating the market now and they are trying to catch up with partnerships with 2nd rate LEO providers.

From news in February...

"Viasat has filed a $421 million insurance claim for the hobbled spacecraft and Dankberg said it has already received initial payments."

Does anyone know if we got money back from the VS3 F1 insurance ? I read somewhere that we had a $420 million coverage.

What to do with the $500M running shoes?

Run at 10% speed.

I fear that Viasat may have fallen broken its neck. While on this subject, go away with all these fall and trip junk posts because this is a layoff website. If you do keep up with this cr-p, at least get it correct by saying trip and fall while adding some humor so the rest of us can get a good laugh.

Or the runner could just go away and find something else to be good at

Or the runner could try tripping the other runner!

I’m a mid-level engineer at Viasat and I wrote the original quote about the runner falling (not tripping). I was thinking of the race in Chariots of Fire when I wrote it. I think that may have been 12-18 months ago. I’d totally re-think stating that now.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha. That will go as well as all the prior filings. The final stage of corporate decline is when you rely on agency filings to compensate for lack of innovation.
