1  (done deal) Sat(s) launches and possibly 2 more this year.
Vector has already locked in 5 orbital launches starting in 2019 with Open Cosmos:

I agree there is a need for cheaper solutions, but when you are choosing the best vehicle, it's a shame if that has to mean "the cheapest".

If Nexus really is all it purports to be, it reminds me of when I was mining ETH and it's price hovered around $10 for months, then dropped as low as $7.

But then when a whole lot of attention was aimed at it, and it started to actually prove to have utility (when really useful ICOs started rather than that DAO fiasco) and worth and the price started climbing. It then hovered around the $50 range, which is unfortunately for me - when I sold most of what I mined. I did make a nice amount, but if I had HODL'd it, it would now be worth a quarter million, rather than the approximately $12000 I made.

Hindsight is 20/20 obviously, and I had financial pressures that more or less forced me to cash out early with ETH. It was so nerve wracking for someone like me who isn't very rich or wealthy - and the electricity bills on the mining rigs were ridiculous because I live in a VERY energy expensive country....

but the point of all this whining is: HODL your NXS if you really believe in the project!

I'm not sure about it yet - obviously it has great ideas, but I'm very cautious in my optimism about it because it seems almost too ambitious. I work in electro-mechanical engineering so I know how expensive and time consuming it is to build very small but highly functional devices - so I can only imagine that just building a cubesat, before you even get it on a launch vehicle will be REALLY expensive. This project is proposing a constellation of these! Imagine how much money it cost to put up (and maintain) the GPS constellation!

I think that if Nexus manages it's own "Sputnik" and actually succeeds in having one up there and working - it's price should just head for the moon, and then I guess that's how they fund a whole constellation, so IMHO - successfully Earth orbiting a nexus node (or not) is the whole deal. If they can do that it will be in the top 5 on coinmarketcap.com, but for as long as they don't the price will continue to fall.

I guess it's possible that if they show in public that there is progress towards this goal it would definitely pump the price - but maybe they don't want that to happen. Or maybe it's never going to happen because there is no progress towards this goal and it's all snake-oil like 85% of crypto currencies - I haven't done enough research or actually seen any evidence that makes me confident that this is real yet, but I do HODL a few hundred NXS. Right now I am very, very tempted to buy a whole lot more in the hope that this is real.

Good luck Nexus - I hope you really can make "skynet" but for all of us to benefit from - rather than the other thing.

There is obviously a need for cheaper and more frequent launches for smaller satellites. It will be interesting to see how Vector might get a leading role in these launches and how Nexus will tie into this. I think I read there is some kind of connection with VMware, I'm sure this will gather quite some publicity too when the time comes.

"The Vector-R vehicle is a low-cost rocket intended to meet the growing demand from the microsatellite sector, which is expected to become a $7.5 billion industry in five years. At less than $3 million per launch, Vector is aiming for a 20th the cost of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket."

this potential agreement could potentially lower the launch costs listed above - https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/23/rocket-builders-looking-to-brazil-for-equatorial-launch-site.html

EDIT: this is the cost for launching the rocket not the satellites, i read somewhere that parts for a micro satellite can cost as low as 25-30k, nano satellites (1 cubesat is 10cmx10cmx10cm) 100k per cubesat, including launch 150k to 1M

Is there nobody here who knows this?

that is super news !!

LMFAO

well then.. since you like to use pretty colors in attempt to get your point across. and the fact that you clearly dont seem to understand, I'll make it simple..

I think that you should step back and look into the mirror with this one.
Regardless of your issues with nexus' slack, based on your rancid attitude you've displayed in this thread im not sure i could see how anyone would treat you in the manner you would like to be shown.

Here's a nice little life lesson: treat people how you would like to be treated.

Sounds to me like you have a personal problem. You can keep your beef with slack mods and entitlement to yourself.

I can assure you that nobody cares about anything your saying.

Still have a few questions, I think they are valid ones.
Not to fud, just some research.

You are fucking clueless!!! Stop being a crying pussy and get the fuck out and get job at Mcdonalds.  You are not fit for trading. You would last one day in the futures market. 

Challenger was ‘86, actually.

Michael Sheetz@ CNBC will most likely be covering Vector launches.  I don't know if there will be cameras on the rockets. It will be a exciting summer/fall.

Just load up and HODL. Right now price is in consolidation mode. Seasonals suggest we will turn up in March.  

I think there will be third launch this year as well.

loool  dudeee smoke a fatty and chill out
what's the matter with you

Wow that's pretty soon already. Going to be a site to behold! Will there also be camera's attached to the rocket or will it be filmed by drones or camera's from the ground? Would be an amazing moment to watch this on a livestream!

Im sorry you feel that way, honestly I barely go on slack due to all the spam and the repeated QandAs, but thats just me.  for me im in NXS for the long term, so short term price doesnt bother me too much.

What do those rocket launches + satellites cost?
How many satellites will be launched?
What is the coverage?
What is the budget of the Nexus team, how much are they holding?
What will it do to the Nexus price when they sell their stack to pay for those launches?

Yes. Starting this year. JULY and OCTOBER. ...and its trading at 2 buxx right now.

Guys, could you please tell me a good and stable pool, where you can mine the coin? I was searching the net, but most of them are down...
