"The string of chronic issues bred frustration, ultimately leading to all but two of Apollo Fusion engineers and staff leaving the company, LinkedIn data and interviews with multiple sources show."
Oof. Glad I didn't sink any money into Astra after announcing their shift to satellite engines. Dead company walking!

Solid interview with Chris Kemp of Astra. After reading Vance's "When the Heavens Went on Sale", I read this as Kemp doing what he does best - not building rockets, but peddling Hopium. (Disclosure, I'm [still] an ASTR shareholder/bagholder who lost a LOT of money on the company to date.)
While I'm VERY skeptical that the satellite engine business will keep the enterprise afloat, this was an interesting look into the man's psychology.

Car running again. New timing belt kit and also new aux. belt with tensioner and idler.
That's the big 150'000 km / 10 year service done. Two of the four bearings were showing signs of wear, one was going quite hard already, definitely shouldn't leave it longer than the recommended interval.
Given the amount of work, I probably saved about half a grand or so by doing it myself (still had to buy the parts). And got to know the car better :)

Last big service item on our #Astra J: Timing belt replacement. This one is a job and a half on this car. Gotta remove air filter housing, wheel, arch liner, engine mount, aux. belt, bunch of pulleys, some covers, support engine from underneath...
Pulleys were a pig to get off, the bolt on the aux belt tensioner a real motherfucker. I got it in the end, but it took hours. It didn't come out intact, but out it came.
Hopefully part two tomorrow goes better.

Changed the (manual, M32) transmission fluid on the #Astra today. #Opel claims it's a "lifetime of the car" filling, but most mechanics dispute this claim.
I'd say they're right to. This is after 11 years and 150'000 km and it doesn't look so good anymore.
Fixed some previous mechanic's crimes with the engine floor cover (it must've dragged on the road before and a corner was gone), cleaned up a bit and applied a wax coating while I was under there.

"Astra is cutting about 70 employees, as well as reallocating about 50 personnel from its rocket development program over to its space products unit, which builds the company's spacecraft engines."
As a big fan of their spacecraft engine business, de-emphasizing the small launch market makes me more interested in this business as an investor again.

60 followers · 154 posts · Server techhub.socialSome news about #astra. Astra just announced it's laying off 25% of its workforce and is relocating 50 employees from the launch service department to the space systems department.
They also secured a $12.5M from senior notes.
Seems like Astra is refocusing its resources on making as much money as possible in the short term so they can sustain their operations.
They currently have 278+ orders for their space systems segment which represents +$70M in revenue.
Time will tell if they survive 2024.
