I like that he's not intimidated by SpaceX. He knows that SpaceX is not really out to squeeze the last dime out of low earth orbit, but they want to be a trucking company for Mars. That means there will be a lot of business left on the table for smaller companies if they are nimble.

Adam Spice, great interview as normal. Well done.

i love how the thumbnail is SPICE: MUST BE EFFICIENT WITH CAPITAL

Mass produce em, use 4 as reusable strap on boosters that effectively make the first stage a 2nd stage

Rocket lab will make retail investors rich if they get in early enough

RocketLab is the only commercial launch operator with their own launch site and not at the mercy of government regulators, so they can launch in their own time on their own terms, with end to end support they don’t even have to worry about other suppliers.

Building wealth is like climbing a mountain; investing is the steady ascent, retirement is the summit.

Should have conversations on rhe difference between small lift and heavy lift like astra and firefly and new Glenn and starship

*He needs to wake up from his pathetic Musk cult. Adam is under no obligation to thank SpaceX for **_ANYTHING_** Rocket Lab distinguished themselves already*

These Bloomberg interwievers were really not up to the job. Poor choice of questions. Unfamiliar with the industry and Rocket Lab. Ed even mixed up the Mars Sample Return with Escapade (2 satellites to the Mars orbit) missions. A painful to watch Bloomberg disaster.

You want to make it big in missiles, go into the market the SM-2, SM-3 SM-6 are in. Word on the street is the production plants makes these guys is a fraction of what is required. Plus their cost are way to high. It is waiting for the right company. The end user is not in a position to not buy the product.

[levioliver]

Let the guy answer your questions instead of cutting him off constantly 😂. Further, I’m a SpaceX fan, but did this guy want Adam to thank them? 🤦‍♂️

[seanwisdom]

There is no competition. Space X already won.

These rockets are soooo tiny, no one is lining up to watch them launch
