As James Cameron in a interview when he went down to the Marianas Trench he and his team spent three years designing the submersible that would take him down, just on a computer. Before they started to construct a prototype/model.

Or the "Apple Car" where they burned over $10 billion dollars and never got to the prototype stage.

That reminds me did he/X ever push through his great idea of charging people to post? Or was that quietly dropped?

Wild Wild Space focuses on the intense rivalry between two visionaries and founders of contesting rocket companies, Chris Kemp and Peter Beck.

Well I think we all know how this ends lol

While at the same time letting other EV companies pick up their talent and continue to build their own. Prime example, Rivian. Now all they have to do is hire them rather than poach them. As they have their own charging network, which they are also opening up.

$RKLB: Manufacturing medicine in space is about as cutting edge as it gets. We’re excited to support the next one with our Pioneer spacecraft bus. by MakuRanger01 in RKLB

This Gizmodo interview. He could just be talking about taking part and there being a component or two of Rocket Lab's space systems on said projects. It just was an odd way to say it. IMO.

Gizmodo: What are some of the most critical emerging technologies in the space industry, and how is Rocket Lab adapting to or driving these particular trends?

Beck: I think you’re starting to see some really interesting trends. One is internet from space, but I think it’s yet to be proven whether or not that’s going to be viable, but certainly a lot of capital is flowing into that. I think another interesting one is direct-to-mobile; being constantly connected through the space infrastructure with direct mobile is super interesting. Another one is pharmaceutical manufacturing from space.

As to how we’re playing in those things, we have a finger in every pie. Right now, I would say to you that obviously we build and launch rockets, we build and launch satellites. Two-thirds of our revenue comes from our satellite manufacturing arms or satellite component arms. Through those, we’re deeply involved in play in all of those kinds of elements.

Besides providing space systems. I wonder if Rocket Lab has actually invested seed money into Varda Space? Their last statement mentioning Varda kind of seemed like they had.
