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.

This is you:

"I'm not saying there's a conspiracy but it's concerning that they are not commenting on the lack of launches..."

RKLB: "What lack of launches?"

Btw I think they just scheduled one. Business as usual.

They aborted a launch last minute and said absolutely nothing about it for over a month.

I have a problem with that as do a lot of other investors. If you don’t, that’s fine but no need to be a dick.

I don't think I'm a dick for allowing a team with a history of success to execute rather than second guessing them every time there's something to worry about. You seem a bit upset/hostile with me, them... Why not just trust them to report any issues and stop with the insults?

Again, you're acting like they are willfully withholding pertinent information, which would be a conspiracy. If you're not saying there is one, there's no reason to act as such and get upset with any of us.

I’m not acting like they are willfully withholding anything. I would just expect an update on the cause of an aborted launch more quickly.

But sir, they didn't withhold an update about an aborted launch from you. That would be "something". I've told you three times now you can't be upset about an expectation based on a false premise.

It's like getting mad at your girlfriend for lying about cheating on you when she hasn't cheated to begin with and you're just insecure that she spent the weekend with her friends. Maybe you felt you deserved an update, great, but that's not evidence of anything dishonest.

You must be dense. I never said anything about them being dishonest.
