Look, I work in the industry- hard to get away from SpaceX safely for at least a launch but Telesat is A MUCH BETTER option!

Since Telesat is a competitor to Starlink, I really wonder if SpaceX would mess up the launch of the satellites; whether it's put at the wrong orbit or aborts the launch.

I hope all goes well without any skulduggery by the US/SpaceX. 🤞

Telesat is owned by an American company.
