Rick and I have been friends for about 25 years, and he preceded me in the entrepreneurial space business by many years (well, he’s not THAT old!). This article is just…beautiful. I can’t think of any other way to describe it. He has captured in just a few paragraphs what I and so many of my colleague/competitors have gone through in a way that reflects the intensely personal nature of it all. The particulars of the impact of the coronavirus are just a modern version of what happened to all of us in the “Class of 1997” when IRIDIUM went bankrupt, and our business plans all collapsed. This is a wonderfully written, even touching article on a very practical subject near and dear to my heart.
