    I like the disruptive tech aspect, and think these micro satellites will go gang busters once established.
    Just looking at the moment, but I like the Israeli tech base and the potential.
    This is the sort of game changer technology that can come out of the blue and change all that we know.

    Micro/Nano/Pico satellites have been in use for at least a decade, usually launched as secondary payloads 'piggybacking' on larger payloads.

    Although in recent times (yes, pre-SpaceX) there has been some successful independent launches, usually modified sub-orbital launch vehicles.

    Does 'Sky & Space Global' have a functional platform in orbit right now, or at least scheduled launches?

    I hope they don't have any former NewSat executives on their board.

    After watching spacex comical attempt at convincing the world that it really has craft that go up and down and self land on barges, i am dubious of all satellite programs.

    Are you suggesting that the SpaceX landings are not happening?

    Another interesting idea being pursued by Google (and maybe others) is to utilize high altitude balloons in the stratosphere to deliver internet. Since they are closer to the ground than satellites, the latency is much better, and they are significantly cheaper to deploy and replace. I think they are currently targeting 3rd world countries with very poor infrastructure, like Africa and Australia.

    Skylon and SABRE are where it's at. The inky way to get exposure is through an investment in BAE which took a piece. They have terrestrial applications and the pre-cooler and heat exchange technology alone is worth a fortune.

    BAE actualy trades at s discount to UK defence equities...strange when do much of their product is being ripped off the shelves for gulf states conflicts from the Med to all over Yemen and places in between.

    BAE has a lot of fingers in lots of pies, might be worth a go.

    It's not that funny, we have to drive 35 min to get into Mobile coverage and our Sat internet allowance is restricted to 20 gig a calendar month and slow as.

    Up just on 1000% since June 1st last year. 1 Oz of gold spent on shares at this time last year would be worth $17,000 today.
    Just wish I'd bought at the time.

    I sat from 3.5c -> 21.5c and cashed in today.

    Sad to see I missed out on another couple of thousand before close, but I am really happy with the result!
    This one is definitely a credit to the recommendations on this forum!
