I absolutely love this Rocket Lab launch site.
Hopefully I'll get to see it in person one day.

I wonder how many of the investors who sold Rocket Lab at $45 will end up buying back in at $200 in a few years.

Rocket Lab is doing in months what once took years.
First 50 launches: ~7 years, 1 month
Second 50 launches: ~2 years, 5 months
If the current acceleration continues, Rocket Lab could complete its next 50 launches in just 18 months.
From over 7 years to just 18 months for the same number of launches. Really cool to see.
And that's just Electron and HASTE. Neutron hasn't even entered the picture yet.
Very disappointed that the wifi was out on our 9+ hour flight - especially since it's apparently a recurring issue they are fully aware of.

"Glad I sold Rocket Lab at $70 in 2026."
Same guy when RKLB hits $300 in 2027:

An amazing mission that also gave us one of the coolest Rocket Lab shots from space, imo:
VICTUS HAZE is an iconic mission, and @SpaceNews_Inc agrees.
We're proud to be a finalist for Military Space Achievement at the 2026 SpaceNews Icon Awards, alongside our VICTUS HAZE teammates @USSpaceForce and @The_TrueAnomaly.
We built a highly capable spacecraft, launched it in record time, commissioned it rapidly, and executed advanced rendezvous and proximity operations to deliver one of the Space Force's most advanced tactically responsive missions to date.

Rocket Lab has filed a formal protest with the Government Accountability Office challenging NASA’s award decision for the Mars Telecommunications Network.
NASA’s award decision appears to be inconsistent with the eligibility criteria mandated by Congress. In addition, the agency’s punitive review of Rocket Lab's technical volume was inconsistent, making incorrect assertions and conclusions.
Procurement standards exist to ensure fair competition and protect public investment. We are pursuing this review to ensure those standards are upheld for critical infrastructure that will underpin American exploration at Mars for decades to come.

Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck:
"You get one ride around. You get one body, one piece of flesh, one brain, one ride. You've got to make that ride count."
And boy, has he made it count.
20 years of pushing boundaries, driving progress and building wealth for so many people. Really inspiring.
Game night starts this Monday, August 31 with UNO!!!
You could win $100!!!
