You guys see what's going on, right?
For decades and decades, the US government has chased this idea of responsive space. Rockets that can go up on very short notice, ideally from lots of locations, and place satellites over areas of interest and importance.
It's been an incredibly hard thing to pull off. SpaceX started chasing this mission in a way but then moved away from the Falcon 1 and focused on Mars.
Rocket Lab has very much picked up the mantle.
It's putting pads in more and more places. It has two pads in spots rather handy for things happening in or near Taiwan.
This is stuff Lockheed and Boeing and others thought about but could not even begin to make happen.
Rocket Lab is basically becoming a space prime the likes of which we have never seen before.
