Rocket Lab CEO Sir Peter Beck says he painted the Archimedes engine black solely because it looks cool: "The Archimedes engine is black. I make them paint them black because it looks cool." "There's no logical reason."

BREAKING: Inside Rocket Lab's ( $RKLB ) Engine Development Center How Archimedes & Rutherford are made FACTORY TOUR (Part III) Sir Peter Beck walks us through Rocket Lab's engine factory in Long Beach, CA. It used to be Sir Richard Branson's $1.2B Virgin Orbit's facility. When it went bankrupt, Rocket Lab bought the building & every machine in it for $16M against over $100M of assets. I asked if he keeps a list of which companies might d*e next.. he said yes. Roughly 10 people now run one of the largest 3D print shops in the industry, turning out a Rutherford engine every day and an Archimedes every 8 days. We cover: › Buying a competitor's factory for 16 cents on the dollar › Why space companies are almost impossible to k*ll › Why Archimedes was designed to be the most boring engine possible › Why it qualifies on 1 hour of runtime & Rutherford on 5 minutes › The hot fire that ate its own injector and kept running Plus: whether investors are any good at space diligence, methane vs kerosene & the soot problem, the machine arriving next year that prints a whole engine in one go, & Beck's hot take on where the industry actually is. Rocket Lab Week: › Part I: Full interview w/ Sir Peter Beck › Part II / Tour 01: Rocket Lab HQ, Mission Control & Satellite Manufacturing › Part III / Tour 02: Rocket Lab’s Engine Development Center, Rutherford & Archimedes 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 (00:00) Sir Peter Beck, Founder & CEO at Rocket Lab (00:48) Buying a $100M building for $16M (02:30) Why Space companies never die (04:15) Where Rocket Lab's engines actually get built (06:55) Biggest differences: Archimedes & Rutherford (07:56) This is where Rocket Lab actually tests its Engines (10:01) How 12 lasers print a Rocket engine part (15:04) A full walkthrough of the Electron Rocket (16:29) Why Iridium was just the beginning (18:35) Methane vs. Kerosene: why it matters (19:28) Why Reusability creates its own set of problems (24:17) What makes a Vacuum Engine different (26:39) The future of Space

Neutron is a reusable medium-lift rocket developed by Rocket Lab for launching large payloads into space. It is powered by nine Archimedes engines on the first stage and a single vacuum-optimized Archimedes engine on the second stage, using liquid methane and oxygen. It can carry up to 13,000 kilograms to low Earth orbit, making it suitable for satellite deployment and future space missions.

It doesn’t look cool at all. Actually it looks terrifying. And as a fellow Asian, I can guarantee you that she is the black sheep of the family.

BREAKING: Inside Rocket Lab ( $RKLB ) w/ Sir Peter Beck FULL INTERVIEW (Part I) We sat down with Peter Beck Founder & CEO of Rocket Lab after another record quarter, $234M in revenue & $2.36B in backlog "The lawyers hate me saying it, but global domination is definitely part of the plan." "I didn't want to build a space company that just lives for the lifetime that I'm running it. It needed to be multi-generational." We go deeper into Iridium, Neutron, the $397M Space Force contract to build + launch "Flatellites," & how 81% of revenue last quarter was outside of launch. Covering: › Why the fix for a 9-month lead time was buying the supplier › The $8B Iridium acquisition & why he was surprised nobody saw it coming › Why the Neutron question should be about the 10th rocket, not the 1st › The 24-hour turnaround constraint that produced Hungry Hippo › Flatellites, building satellites for volume rather than one at a time Plus: building a launch industry in New Zealand from zero suppliers & no regulation, staying out of broadband to play in L-band, going public before SpaceX, GHOST & the launch site that ships in a container, & why the Archimedes engines are painted black. 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 (00:00) Sir Peter Beck, Founder & CEO at Rocket Lab (00:59) Rocket Lab's biggest quarter (02:53) The competitive edge in Space (04:10) Rocket Lab's Acquisition Strategy (05:04) Reason behind the Iridium Deal (06:13) Competing with Blue Origin & SpaceX (09:56) Rocket Lab's Global Domination (11:19) Building a Launch Monopoly in New Zealand (12:33) Is this why Peter got Knighted? (16:42) Beating SpaceX to the Public Markets (20:05) Why Neutron is still facing delays (24:24) The reality of running a Rocket Company (27:38) Rocket Lab's latest contract wins (29:04) How defense became a prime mover for Rocket Lab (30:39) Ghost: Rocket Lab's portable launch pad (31:30) Has he seen Aliens? (33:18) What's next for Rocket Lab? (34:30) Where does Peter draw his inspiration? (36:12) Why he's never read a Business book (37:31) Why their Engine is painted black

The reason why they are banning black history. they are banning black history because it expose real history of Europeans. It makes them very uncomfortable. that is why Donald Trump is waging a war against Black history. He wants to whitewash slavery and Jim Crow and yes, anti-black racism.

$RKLB Neutron will be the largest carbon fiber structure to ever fly once it's completed. Some critics say it's not realistic because it would be the first carbon fiber structure of that size to fly, but I'd argue Rocket Lab is pretty good at firsts: "We were the first to 3D print a rocket engine and put it into orbit. We were the first to do an all carbon composite rocket and put it into orbit. We were the first to do all fiber optically networked avionics suite on a launch vehicle and put it into orbit." — Sir Peter Beck, Rocket Lab CEO
