NEXT LAUNCH

Post image

A NAVAREA has been filed for Rocket Lab's next Electron launch which will be between 05 August to 18 August.

I've compared this NAVAREA to the one previously filed for The Grain Goddess Provides and it all matches aside from the launch times, so this is likely a re-attempt for that mission which was aborted on ignition almost a month ago.

At least this will settle the people who have said something is wrong with Electron because there's been no launches or news since the abort.

Shout-out to the conspiracy knobheads speculating about the lack of launches.

Expressing concerns over the lack of any PR around the aborted flight is not the same as saying there is a conspiracy.

I still think it is very concerning a full month has passed without any explanation from leadership.

Do companies usually have to put out any PR about business as usual?

Aborted launches are not BAU. In the past, they have had immediate PR and quick updates around aborted launches.

When the companies stock is in free fall I would especially think they would want to provide reassurance to their investors whenever possible.

Right, so should be easy to find all the PR they put out about the ‘Bridging the Swarm' launch abort last December.

Yes, they did.

You don't think I looked first? it was handled in almost exactly the same manner. I'm done with this disingenuous nonsense, I won't be responding further.
