    Building wealth is like climbing a mountain; investing is the steady ascent, retirement is the summit.

    You want to make it big in missiles, go into the market the SM-2, SM-3 SM-6 are in. Word on the street is the production plants makes these guys is a fraction of what is required. Plus their cost are way to high. It is waiting for the right company. The end user is not in a position to not buy the product.

    These Bloomberg interwievers were really not up to the job. Poor choice of questions. Unfamiliar with the industry and Rocket Lab. Ed even mixed up the Mars Sample Return with Escapade (2 satellites to the Mars orbit) missions. A painful to watch Bloomberg disaster.

    I like that he’s not intimidated by SpaceX. He knows that SpaceX is not really out to squeeze the last dime out of low earth orbit, but they want to be a trucking company for Mars. That means there will be a lot of business left on the table for smaller companies if they are nimble.

    RocketLab is the only commercial launch operator with their own launch site and not at the mercy of government regulators, so they can launch in their own time on their own terms, with end to end support they don’t even have to worry about other suppliers.

    • @linus5647

      October 13, 2024 at 3:17 am

      It’s other way around in launch business. Owning the launch site brings the perils of navigating through numerous federal and local regulators/agencies. Just take the example of Spacex’s facility in Texas and compare that with KSC or Cape.
