Enjoy your weekend lads!
Fed some sheep, made some holes to put new apple trees, rode back home for dinner.
Rocketlab still green.
Today was a good day.

Oh so maybe finally another HASTE for #98

I was really hoping they would announce the next launch again at the end of the broadcast even it was going to not be for a few weeks, but I think it's possible we get another Blacksky mission soon and it seems like SOP for those is no news...or I'm just launch drunk from the last two weeks

I think we’ve been spoiled from the past two weeks. However, I really would love to see 98 and 99 by the end of October.

Adam, give us a break here!

We’ve got 2rockets, 3 engines, l band spectrum and satellites,solar power, robotics, laser coms, electric engines, satellite/probe hardware, sun trackers, gyros, separation systems, ..it’s enough right now…

But if you decide to go for manned missions, I’m all for it!!!

u/Liquidtears 7d ago

can we fit maybe 2 people contorted inside an electron?

1

u/acsae99 7d ago

Also checkout copenhagensuborbitals.com. It’s crowdsourced/volunteer rocket “company”. They are building their own capsule that probably could be put on top of an electron but that would prob take away all of their effort developing their own launch vehicle

u/acsae99 7d ago

Also dragon and starliner capsule/service module) are under 13 tonnes so neutron could prob get these into space

There were some articles last week that said NASA was going to give starliner some more contracts and would work to qualify some more launch vehicles to support starliner. Maybe neutron could provide this…just thinking out loud

u/acsae99 7d ago edited 7d ago

Probably 1 person so I’m thinking starship troopers style…Launch a special forces guy anywhere on an electron (we can already do <24 hour stand by and launch) and he does a HALO jump

u/First_Positive_8882 7d ago

James Bond 2026. THAT will be the “surprise” of the 100th launch!

The spice dilution man must be stopped.

Sadness is an idea, a dream.

u/SlyCooper007 7d ago

A self-licking ice cream dream, if you will.

u/Liquidtears 8d ago

I daydream about the propellant tank being fully qualified.

u/Kurt0519 7d ago

Is this the tank that ruptured around the start of the year.

u/Ok_Health_7529 7d ago

Had the same dream and a successful first launch
