You act as if 'launch' is a thing. All Rocket Lab launches ever combined don't even fill a single SpaceX rocket. Those are not the same thing.

Lets see their reliability when they have a bigger rocket and if they can land reliably. Because their rocket will be quite expensive to build.



I think that’s the point of their niche right? They are already plenty reliable. Also let’s them do stuff like this:

We know from the graveyard of companies that reached orbit with their small rockets and ran out of funding before they got to be reliable, that reliably flying even a small rocket is pretty good.


I didn't say it wasn't good.


Gulfstreams don't actually 'fly' because Boeing built the 747. Sure.
