@Peter_J_Beck @RocketLab Molly, thank you for taking us through doors most of us could only dream of opening. And Sir Peter Beck, thank you for letting us in. Fascinating places, extraordinary work, and refreshingly “normal” questions for those of us from a very different world 😊

I respect the staged releases but also hate them! Ep 1 felt like a cliff hanger. Gimme more! I follow the space industry pretty closely and also had misidentified Rocket Lab as just a launch company. Turns out they do a hell of a lot more than that! Here’s a little site I made which lists all their various relationships. Tried to map out the whole space industry as best I could.

@Peter_J_Beck @RocketLab Experts often evaluate neural networks by measuring real-world performance rather than theoretical potential under resource constraints.

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

BREAKING: Inside Rocket Lab ( $RKLB ) HQ Tour in Long Beach, CA w/ Sir Peter Beck FACTORY TOUR (Part II) Rocket Lab reached space in 2009 on ~$60,000 in total capitalization, using fittings pulled out of a junkyard. "From that adversity, comes good ideas" Electron reached orbit in 2017 on <$100M w/ 80 people. Meanwhile, their nearest competitor, billionaire-founded Virgin Orbit, burned $1.2B & went bankrupt. Rocket Lab now runs 13 acres of factory across 9 locations, globally. But before any of that, with dream of reaching space, Peter Beck applied to NASA: "I was objectively too dumb & also a foreign national. So foreign national, no degree, it wasn't looking good." NASA turned him down. He ended up launching their payloads instead, including CAPSTONE to the Moon, NASA's lunar pathfinder for Artemis, which operated out of the mission control room we walked through. We cover: › The $3.20 ferrules that got Rocket Lab to space › Why $100M & 80 people beat $1.2B at Virgin Orbit › Going public as a succession plan, not a financing event › Why a reaction wheel is a moat › The reality of buying companies Plus: the 2001 lobby, his take on "number eight wire," the CAPSTONE spare that stayed home, 12-year missions that cannot fail, & where new space entrants actually die. Check out the rest of the series: › Part I: Full sit-down interview w/ Peter Beck › Part II: Tour 01 - *This episode* › Part III: Tour 02 - Engine Development Center (Friday) 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 (00:00) Touring inside Rocket Lab HQ (01:44) The origin story (05:45) What "Number Eight Wire" actually means (07:14) Too much Capital can kill a startup (09:03) Why Rocket Lab decided to go public (10:45) From Rockets to an entire Space Ecosystem (15:11) Where Escapade & CAPSTONE were flown (16:44) Inside the satellite build floor (17:15) In search for life on Venus (18:08) Inside the Electric Propulsion Lab (19:58) Inside the Thermal & Shock Testing Facility (20:47) How big is this facility?

$RKLB Good to hear Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck spell out what most of us already understood, but some "investors" still can't grasp. "Rocket Lab as a business is fundamentally better in every single metric. But yet the stock price went down. And that's just a complete macro environment thing that you can't really control. So I think the environment is pretty piping hot right now."

$RKLB Cathie Wood is very bullish on Rocket Lab. For good reason. "As the Falcon 9 phases out [...] This is going to open an incredible opportunity for Rocket Lab." 👀 She also recently visited Peter Beck in New Zealand: "For us, meeting founders, looking at the conviction in their eyes, adds to our own conviction in its opportunity set. So pretty excited about Rocket Lab." I know Cathie is a bit controversial and just because she's bullish doesn't mean the stock will go up. But I do think she's spot on about the opportunity ahead for Rocket Lab!

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.

$RKLB CEO Peter Beck said Neutron is key to scaling payload capacity & lowering launch costs as Rocket Lab pushes deeper into orbital infrastructure. It’s all part of Rocket Lab’s plan to become a vertically integrated space platform which is why Beck joked that “world domination” is part of the thesis.

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?
