Maybe. What changes have they made to make anyone think they'll be more successful in the future, other than abandoning that launcher and supposedly moving on to a new one? Have there been any management changes?

I bought some November calls at 2.5 after the post-failure stock plunge, as lottery tickets in the hope that they'd have a launch success this summer. They've lost most of their value, but hey, it's not November yet. The lottery tickets are even cheaper now (November is two and a half bucks each, but you'd have a better chance if you buy some that expire next year, which will cost more).

The stock is now worth less than a buck, so there's a chance that it will be delisted, or move to the Vancouver exchange...

Astra is now worth about 220m USD according to their market cap, and apparently have about 200m in the bank as of June 30th…..so enterprise value sits around $20m + whatever they spent in the meantime (30m?). Seems pretty cheap if anyone has any cash lying around.
