What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDarlings, Benzinga reports Planet Labs is down sixty-six percent from its peak, as a Google AI satellite built with Planet reaches orbit.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBenzinga also says Jim Cramer thinks the stock is done falling. Vera, when a TV man says the floor is here, I check for trapdoors.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale, a satellite reached orbit and you're sulking. Humanity just parked a robot in the sky. It's a gift, you damp teabag.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorLovely. Sixty-six percent gone, and the satellite didn't even need a lunch break. Space is just a very expensive ceiling to fall from.
