@@lextacy2008 Orbital debris really isn't the huge problem people love to claim. We have many solutions for ways to deal with it but so far the problem simply hasn't reached the point at which it makes sense to. Besides, you can be sure if it became a problem it would be solved. For warfare alone access to space is a requirement these days so no country will want to lose it and these days space industry is growing at such an incredible rate that it will pay for its own cleanup operations in the near future.
@@aelux4179 Except probably not. Space X would have implemented solutions to clean up space before launching 1000s of Star lInk satellites. Plus we would have to force with regulations to make private companies clean debris. Federal initiatives are actually more on board like ESA and JAXA. They have actual whiteboard plans for things like this, Space X however, is all talk.
@@lextacy2008 I never mentioned SpaceX, the only offr in the way of cleaning debris I've heard SpaceX offer is using the starship like a huge garbage can, can't imagine that'd be particularly efficient. And SpaceX have no reason to clean up debris that is not anywhere near their constellation to make room for their sats. It just doesn't affect them and even in the unlikely scenario a sat is damaged by space debris, it's more efficient for them to replace it then go on janitorial duty. I agree they should be made to at least fund cleanup attempts but right now it just isnt enough of an issue.
So much love for Rocket Lab. So proud of our Kiwi space team. Happily I was slow buying shares so they have gone up but I will be buying more up or down as we go. Even if I lost my investment I'd never regret supporting Rocket Lab and win or lose I'll be there for the long haul. NZ second country in the world to perform a recovery such an amazing achievement! If I could re-roll the clock I'd have gone all in to work there and be part of it.
Rocketlab is the coolest startup that isn't SpaceX. Electron looks awesome. Sounds awesome. Is awesome Photon is one the coolest thing's I've ever seen. Can't wait for Neutron
I'm not a security professional, but I like to play one on TV. Good on you for blurring out the ID badge at 1:57. Can't make a fake badge if you don't see any real ones!
I would go to say SpaceX and Rocket Lab are equally important because the potential in their goals are in the realm of possibility. Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic are cool on a civilian standpoint, but no are where near as significant when we are talking the endeavors of mankind.
I don't think Blue Origin has done anything significant for the space industry. I hope we can add a "yet" to that sentence, but I've grown more and more disillusioned with their apparent lack of ambition or innovation.
Happy to see an increased interest & effort in developing & sending scientific instruments in various sizes to far larger in scale (ie: Hubble, JWST, Spitzer, Chandra, etc.) to other planets, asteroids, moons & the Sun),; alongside the increasing variety of launch providers starting to come in to their own & contributing to getting such payloads to orbit & beyond. A further understanding of our own solar system (And everything therein) is absolutely fundamental and a necessity that's needed in order to continue with our endeavors in to outer space, beyond the surface of Earth. To ultimately achieve full colonization of space beyond our own.
This is definitely a game changer... It is practically the definition of platform as a service and I'm ready to bet that's an hell of a lot cipher and easier to work with then anything else😍👏👏 Good move
Incredible work Rocketlab! This is true innovation opening up access to other planetary bodies in a cost effective way! So much more research will be able to be conducted, so many more discoveries! Keep up the great work and stay classy!
What is this strange sensation I'm feeling??? It's pride in being a Kiwi! Thanks to the rocket surgeons at Rocket Lab! If you're going to leave cislunar space, shouldn't Rocket Lab be deploying ultra-high Isp Ion drives or electric thrusters of some sort? That would seem to fit the Rocket Lab hardware and mission efficiency we've come to know and admire.
Has Rocket Lab said anywhere what propellant HyperCurie runs on? It’s be helpful to know for purposes of comparison and modelling, but I can’t find it anywhere. I ask cause it featured in this video.
@Rocket Lab one mission for Photon might be emergency on-demand cargo to the ISS or Lunar Gateway (tools, medicine, etc). Perhaps design a tab a Canadarm or similar grappler can attach to.
Our recently recorded interview with Rocket Lab will be published later today. come check it out at "Total space". It was really fun to talk with Richard French, about these very same future missions.
Everybody's saying "we developed platform". I remember Alan Stern was referring that way to New Horizons spacecraft. How is Photon better? Or maybe I should extend the question: how are older spacecraft designs not a platform?
I like Rocket Lab. SpaceX rushed to capture the bulk of the market and build the biggest vehicle. RL is taking it's time filling out the smaller scale solutions.
Could Venus' mangetosphere provide a safe(r) place for humans? Its atmosphere certainly has the raw elements of life, could we live in the upper atmosphere where its cool enough? or LVO? It has to be less inhospitable than raw vacuum?
Start operating outta Virginia already so I can watch launches from there. And more importantly... *S O I C A N W O R K F O R T H I S A W E S O M E C O M P A N Y* after I graduate high school and college lol
As much as id want that, a europa submarine like probe would cause concern for planetary protection. What if some earth life stays onboard, if so, what if it thrives in the enviornment and kills the native life?
You should definitely consider moving away from highly polluting fuels by developing new engines. LH2 and LOX as fuel will pay in the long run. water vapor as output is so nice. Maybe vertically integrate your own fuel production capabilities and power generation. Quebec has tons of hydro dams (so does NZ) where you could produce hydrogen via electrolysis from hydro power. That would be good for PR as well. Imagine, being a producer and exporter of clean rocket grade liquid hydrogen and provide the world with it. that would be dope. (also arguably a lot more expensive upfront, maybe for later haha). For example, here there are aluminum producers who have ownership of dams and use it to power their factories, you could strike a similar deal in NZ and have your own hydrogen extraction plant from hydro powered electrolysis. the dam could come cheap and the plant might also receive government funding given it provides jobs and encourages green economic growth. Also Peter, I hope you don't neglect your health, people like you and Elon are true gems the kind the world needs more of and running big companies like that surely has a physical toll, take care! And no, hat diet is not healthy.
There are alot of problems with hydrogen like its very low density, meaning bigger tanks, Hydrogen powered engines are also quite a bit more complex due to the gases tendency to leak easily, fuel boil off or fuel loss due to the hydrogen evaporating on orbit. The current usage of Kerosene/liquid oxygen is just the safest, least complex and most reliable option.
The space shuttle had limited orbit time due to its use of hydrogen fuel cells it used to provide power. Hydrogen is a good fuel, but it comes with some expensive and complex problems
@@_K3PLR well i'm not talking about fuel cells i'm talking about using it as a cryogenic propellant, it's two entirely different things. they already do cryogenic with the liquid oxygen. and yes it's more complex doing double cryogenic but at least it doesn't pollute like mad.
@@Howitz759 even as a cryogenic propellant, its on orbit time is limited just as the hydrogen fuel cells are. Both experience boil off. Hydrogen is good, but complicated and expensive to deal with and not very viable for long duration in space unless you pack in some way to radiate the heat away which adds more weight and more cost. Hydrogen is just something smaller space companies dont want to deal with.
It would actually slow things down a lot... Competition is good for the industry and this is how we see advancements. If one company or group of companies had a monopoly on space travel/exploration they would not be incentivized to develop as quickly.
And we will cheer you on every step of the way! Go Electron, and Go Photon!
And soon neutron!
Nice to hear Venus is getting more and more of the love it deserves
I want to see a clockwork rover on the surface! It would be a mixture of my two favorite aesthetics, space and steampunk.

Awesome. A standardized but customizable platform for interplanetary science missions will have a huge positive impact on cost and development times.

What sort of effect would NZ being thrown out of 5eyes have on Rocket labs operations ?
Don't think that's going to happen anytime soon and if so it would have little impact.

Kinda funny how they are all wearing gaming headsets in the control room.

To the Moon!
Photon docking module and mining system . Solar sail module
Question….is the asteroid belt an exploded planet or pre proto planet.
Asteroids are remains of the early solar system, its leftover material from when the planets were still forming
Rocket Lab is in danger of being cooler than SpaceX :)
I'd be so happy, if we'd knew the rough Isp range of HyperCurie...
can we launch something into the sun? pretty please?
Rocket Lab x Spacex what's a combo
Saying Photon isn't a commodity bus seems like a disservice. That doesn't mean it can't be customized.
