- scanny 3y agoWhy is that? Also isn’t Rocketlab a US owned company ?
- RowanH 3y agoFounded by a Kiwi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Lab https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Lab [Edit not sure what it's got to do with Jacinda though..]
- throw-4e451c8 3y agoAnd South Africa the no 1 space power, I guess. SpaceX was founded by someone from there.
- vosper 3y agoRocket Lab's success has basically nothing to do with Jacinda Ardern?
- boeingUH60 3y agoRocket Lab is now a US-based company. I get that many people like Jacinda Ardern, but attributing Rocket Lab’s success to her is just weird. Rocket Lab couldn’t even get enough funding in New Zealand, which is why they had to relocate to the USA.
