I wonder where this leaves Varda? Tough to win when your ride is also your competitor.

Not in a comforable position I'd say.

FWIW, the main supplier of iPod components in the era of the iPod nano was Samsung, and the main competitor for MP3 Players as well.

The big problem this time is probably that your supplier is the one with the reality-distortion field, not you...

I think that problem also somewhat applies to ICEYE, since they're making a Starshield competitor, but as far as I know, they ride on SpaceX missions.

Yah I’m also interested in the implications here. Varda is an awesome company and I would have hoped they saw a great exit for such great engineering.
