What does /sfg/ think about Maxar?

I'm not too interested in the imagery side of their business, although I see it growing as imagery constellations enable near constant surveillance of the earth's surface and it creates a lot of useful data to analyze and sell. I'm more interested on if they can take advantage of Starship greatly lowing launch prices and become a dominate smallsat manufacturer. I understand their GEO satellite business is struggling but that's a very competitive sector.

Retail investors in this space don't have a lot of options besides the old space companies. Maxar is more of a pure play but still pretty much old space. Beyond that as far as I know there's just Momentus Space, a bunch of communication satellite companies which I'm not interested in, and LMAO Virgin Galactic.
