for anyone who cares, there’s a great book, “Eccentric Orbits”, about the rise, near demise, and miraculous resurrection of the original Iridium constellation(which btw, was based on Reagan’s “star wars” technology, which was much maligned at the time by the lying leftist fake stream enemedia):

Nothing miraculous about it. The R&D and initial launches were made using venture capital, then Iridium declared bankrupcy and wiped out all of their debt.

A new company bought up the assets for pennies on the dollar, and secured government contracts to provide sat phone service to the military during Gulf War II.
