Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck breaks the entire space industry into 3 simple layers, from rockets to the services we use every day: "I probably shouldn't have called it Rocket Lab. I should have called it Space Lab. The rocket always steals the show because it's this big roaring stick in the sky." "Rockets, that's about a $10 or $20 billion industry. Spacecraft, the tools in space to provide services, 20 to $30 billion. And then the reason why you do all of those things are applications in space." "Space is kinda weird that it's hidden infrastructure. You don't drive past it every day, so you don't see it. But everybody interfaces with space every single day, whether you realize it or not." "We build rockets, we build satellites, and with our acquisition of Iridium, we're also a services company from space." Rocket Lab
