@andrew__reed @SpaceX Good memories

In June 2020 @shaunmmaguire dragged me to Redmond to hang with the engineers and stream video from the first Starlink satellites. This is what we saw.

We facetimed the partnership, and Shaun led one of the best investments of all time. Grateful to him and to @SpaceX. Ad astra!
