Urthecast Corp LFDEF

Pros & cons

[roily]

First thanks for all the information that everyone has provided and trust me that as an investor I would not make an investment decision based on what I read on a BB. However, over the years I have gleamed good information from various posts and in some instances I have been able to establish off line communications with some well-informed people. I have spent many hours over the past week researching and reading everything I can find on EO and I am trying to find the pros & the cons of each player and I think I have a ways to go before I buy any UR but the upcoming First Light event has peaked my interest. As I mentioned my son is a college junior and he is a pretty smart kid but he is only 20 so he really doesn’t know everything just yet:) He took a Remote Sensing class last semester and I asked him how do Skybox and Urthecast compare and he is of the opinion that currently Skybox has more to offer. I am not a tech investor so the Remote Sensing space is new to me and while my son is only 20, he is in school for some of this so I appreciate his thoughts. His initial thought is that the polar orbits of Skybox’s satellite network is better that Urthercast’s equatorial orbit, but I see advantages to UR such as a quicker return time to any particular spot within its range. I have a little more research to do and I think I am down to looking for the contrarian view point so I can fully access the pros & cons. I am discounting the technical issues that go with launching payloads into orbit as we all know stuff happens, what I am looking for is information/opinions/thoughts on why UR cannot be fully monetized or why their product is inferior to others that are providing similar services. Other than the opinion of a 20 year old I am not finding many cons.
