Our Reading

The announcement sounds ambitious.

Observable Space and Quantum Wave are teaming up to capture data beamed back from space, because that’s not something we’ve been doing for decades. They’re integrating their technologies to create a more robust data collection system, which is just a fancy way of saying they’re trying to make it work better. The partnership is expected to support a range of applications, including satellite communications and space exploration, because those things didn’t already exist. It’s not like we’ve been doing this for years and just need a new logo.
