Nearly a year. Weekly. Without missing an issue. On a topic most people can’t spell and even fewer care about until they’re sitting in a procurement meeting wondering why nothing works as advertised.
4 to 5 hours every week. Research, writing, posting, newsletters. Repeat.
Here’s what that bought:
→ 2,000+ subscribers / 5,000 LinkedIn followers
→ 10–20 likes per issue (< 1%)
→ nearly 5,000 lurkers who apparently find silence more engaging than content
I’d like to say the ratio is humbling. It’s not. It’s clarifying.
Somewhere out there, nearly 5,000 people are very quietly grateful for content they can’t even be bothered to acknowledge. You’re welcome. Truly.
I’m sure the big primes, the integrators, and the institutional cheerleaders of European space sovereignty are relieved. One less inconvenient voice asking awkward questions about supply chains, sovereignty and procurement realities. Sleep well.
I’ll keep posting on LinkedIn when the industry does something worth mocking. Leased Skies remains on Amazon for the twelve people who will discover it in 2027 and act like it was always there.
But the weekly cadence ends here.
The lurkers will adjust. Probably silently.
