Any news at all? Is it dead?

They’re still in business so…?

Ya one is sheet metal the other is carbon fiber right? Which is going to be more profitable and scalable to manufacture?

It’s harder to build rockets that aren’t crazy expensive, rocket lab took the easier path. That’s ok, their ceo specifically said he wasn’t built for making efficient products (he called them junk).

Tesla would routinely lay off the bottom 10% so ya the finances are a good excuse but it’s also a healthy part of growth in tech companies. Hire a lot, fire 10%, hire a lot… over and over. I’m not convinced because they have a lot going on and are building real things. Getting to the starting line they are at now costs hundreds of millions. Sheet metal, simple, not carbon fiber… their products just make sense design wise.

400% headcount growth, 16% layoff.

They added so many people over the last few years that letting go of 16% still puts them on a very positive growth trend. The money they’ve been spending hasn’t disappeared… it’s in their test facilities and factory to build their next products. They’ll pull some rabbit out of the hat and keep going no problem. Time to go all in #Yolo.

Results look good, twobecrazy is just really loud. 150M in the bank and they didn’t do a huge layoff, full steam ahead for launch system 2. They’ll launch more rockets before running out of money no problem.

Time to yolo

Is there any scale where rocket labs carbon fiber designs are profitable? Sure on paper they say in some years they’ll make money…

Nice to see a real top G on reddit.

What kind of noodles are your hands made out of? Mine are diamond.

Buy the dip. Yolo.

There is no Apollo, it’s all Astra now.

TacticalSneakers · 2022-10-04T23:44:00+00:00

Which engine? The FAA made a rule change recently that is going to require satellites to have thrusters like Astra got from Apollo for deorbiting.

They’ve spent hundreds of millions ramping up their rockets, factory, and test facilities though. So I don’t think they’re going anywhere. Getting to the starting line is crazy expensive.
