[chbot] Rocket labs take 5

[Charles Manning]

"Well, I'd expect it to be successful. I mean, it's not exactly brain
surgery, is it?"

Or as one wag put it: Rocket science isn't rocket science any more.

Space deployments are still pretty dodgy though. If planes were as
unreliable as space craft there would be a crash at Christchurch airport at
least once a day.


The issue is not being "in the race". What is more important is breaking
the cost thresholds that make a whole new tier of space deployments
economically viable.
