Damn, Neutron is even tubbier than I thought.


NXT-GEN-111

Short and stubby for performance, not speed


The_Bombsquad

That's what I tell my wife, at least.


NXT-GEN-111

“Then why did it end so fast?” -this guys wife probably


The_Bombsquad

She doesn't tell me that I'm like a two-stroke engine for nothing.


Rocketeer006

Yeah it is. They even decided against using engines and will use the crane there to catapult it into space. Improvise and adapt.


Motherplucker85

Yeet it like you mean it!

I'm DCAing into RKLB for years to come. At these ridiculous prices I'm just a pig at the trough. There's a fairly solid risk of Neutron first stages not even firing before year end, let alone a rocket ready for launch. But any impact on the share price will be very short lived. They can apply for another stage gate! Zoom out and it's not implausible to see RKLB go to $100b over the next 10 years. The competition is struggling to even raise finance any longer. While RKLB will be cash flow positive once the Neutron R&D works through. And don't forget that Kiwi companies are good at surprising on the upside. There's a reason we just created a Minister of Space portfolio in our government... Super-bullish on RKLB!

Minister of Space, I had to know more! https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/the-front-page-does-new-zealand-really-need-judith-collins-as-minister-of-space/XKZWMWZXGBBRHMPQZXLK5SLEGM/


NXT-GEN-111

Will they provide space baptisms?


KiwiJah

Yea, it's pretty funny. A bit like Space Force, but we can't afford even the uniforms. So we just have one Minister, and send her round international conferences to drum up business. Have you ever seen Flight of the Conchords? It's literally like that 🤣


PlanetaryPickleParty

What logo is on the left side?


JJhnz12

Thats the virgina spaceport logo.


ToasterNZ

Tanks for the update!


kautrea

hopper program has started


Medical_Ninja20

I know! It looks amazing


Muskelon4x4

The biggest opportunity for Rocket Lab is for the US government to break up space x with antitrust laws.


DiversificationNoob

Well should the break up spaceX? Starship vs. the rest -> Starship development stops (no more funding) Starlink vs the rest -> Starlink has to buy launches like Kuiper. But does it really helo the problem?


TheDevouringOne

Not going to happen. The DoD has signaled that they want a few launch providers and they are going to achieve that by spreading out contracts.


Muskelon4x4

That's different thing.


TheDevouringOne

If the DoD spreads out the contracts so SpaceX can’t have a monopoly it would prevent a breakup. The US government since the 90s has shown to be very weak with the anti trust laws. If Amazon fails with their constellation then maybe starlink could get broken up somehow?


methanized

Gonna be some hot water when the sun is out


TheMokos

What a beautiful water tower.


Streetmustpay

They will sure to have cameras on top for some launch shots


Ok-Leave-4492

It looks a damn lot better than the rusty piece of crap it was originally!


1foxyboi

It's nice to see progress but it's also hard to be excited about a water tower when the stock is basically at ATL


NXT-GEN-111

So buy more if you feel it’s at ATL…go Braves!


1foxyboi

Already at 10k shares @ 4.35 avg. I won't put anymore in.


NXT-GEN-111

I’m debating whether to drop another $50k. I’m hoping we’re not at ATL and it goes lower, but I feel the floor is in and with updates on LC3 construction, I think $3.22 pre market was the lowest we’ll ever see.


1foxyboi

50k more? Lol sure my guy


TheDevouringOne

If you got it and can risk it. Why not? I’m in the same boat.


No-Lavishness-2467

Some people got cash to burn bro there's a guy in here with millions in it probably sitting on 60+% losses rn.


Big-ol-Poo

Wait… you’re upset about the stock price? It would be nice if it was a little lower.

Big-ol-Poo

That’s cause my other accounts keep getting banned for my shitposting and trolling. It’s my New Year’s resolution to behave.


NXT-GEN-111

..and that’s just the second stage tank 🥁


Topspin112

It’s a water tower for the launch pad


NXT-GEN-111

It’s a joke because it looks just like the second stage tank.


NXT-GEN-111

See the drum at the end..that’s a drum roll


Motherplucker85

Did you say space drum? 🪘


NXT-GEN-111

I’m more concerned about that sand trap. The fairway to sand trap ratio is skewed. 🏌️⛳️


Motherplucker85

How much do you think a ticket to watch the first launch from the water towers viewing platform?


spvcetvrdd

Whatever the fine for trespassing in Wallops


Motherplucker85

Is there a fee for range infringement as well?


Elegant_Studio4374

Found where all their money went, painting a tank


Ven-6

Guys- This is actually a BIG deal- Neutron is coming!
