Tonight 71-year-old Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak tweeted ten words: “A Private space company is starting up, unlike the others.”
The tweet also included the URL for a new video just uploaded tonight to YouTube about a company called Privateer.

The video’s tagline? “The sky is no longer the limit.
The same tagline appears at Privateer.com, followed by two short sentences. “We are in stealth mode. We’ll see you at AMOS in September 2021 in Maui, Hawaii.” (With AMOS apparently, being the Advanced Maui Optical and Space Surveillance Technologies Conference running from this Tuesday through Friday.)
