Many of you out there are eager to dig into learning to be a pro artist, but art school is simply not a possibility for you. I've put together a curriculum for you at Schoolism. It will cost you a fraction of attending art school.

If it was not clear before TMobile spent $8M to raise awareness of satellite connectivity it should be now. What matters most to end consumers (and MNO's) is the actual system capacity. SpaceX can sorta/barely do text messaging and $ASTS has done video calls. Night/Day.
Please show some well deserved respect for accomplishments of $ASTS. The CEO of Vodafone just demonstrated a video call using an unmodified 5G handset to an engineer in a notspot via a bluebird satellite. www.vodafone.com/news/technol...

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.
The actual number is less than 1%.
Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.
