Not just SpaceX
Rocket Lab is racking up some impressive statistics for its space launch business. Good. The more private companies we have doing this the better chance we’ll get out there sooner and we;; ahead of our national competitors. (Post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

Space news
SpaceX isn’t the only company recovering rockets for reuse. Story here. Rocket Lab out of New Zealand is doing the same, thought differently and on a much smaller rocket.
Speaking of SpaceX, they had another launch over the weekend as well. Space launches are becoming a weekly, if not daily occurrence. This is great news. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

A private space mission to Venus
And it isn’t SpaceX. This is interesting. Things are now happening in space that I thought we would have seen back in the 1980s I am happy that I get to see it before I die. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

Not every shot can succeed
Always disappointing when a launch fails to achieve orbit. However, the fact that we are making many more launches, means there will be more failures. Hopefully, Rocket Lab will figure out what failed and get it fixed. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)
