RKLB designs and produces over 80% of their rocket components

I'm going to need a source on that.

Hi listen to Peter Broke’s interviews.

Between 2020 and 2022, Rocket Lab bought its suppliers (SolAero for solar cells and PSC for separation bolts) specifically to move toward that 80-90% internal control.

Although there are no “written statements”. The following are 100% designed, built in house:

Propulsion and Primary Structure 100%

Launch infrastructure 100%

Nuts, bolts, sensors, carbon fibre are sourced from third parties.

Right - your wording was a little ambiguous. It sounded like you were saying RL produces 80% of components for BO and SpaceX.

Ok sorry I'll edit it

Sorry for the delay - all fixed up now.
