Hope you will be the first to interview Peter Beck and RocketLab team when Neutron launches! You are by far the best interviewer!

Great interview. Peter is a great leader. Looking forward to a bright future for Rocket Lab!

[@saik6730]

Most awaited interview of the year

[@CombatK9Handler]

"We go to space to improve life on earth." - Rocket Lab - Awesome work, Rocket Lab team.

[@Shaydon1986]

Go RKLB. And how can you not like Peter

[@saik6730]

Thank you Madison, you are a beauty and the beast. Congratulations Rocket lab. Peter will stay in the history

[@CapitalCrestC]

Great interview, RL one of the coolest companies on earth.

[@shanerienks8104]

Incredible interview and video Madison - please keep them coming!

[@staceylmoran]

Excellent questions and great interview, Madison. Thanks so much for sharing more of SPB and Rocket Lab with us.

[@HeyPumpkin]

Thanks for another very good interview with Peter Beck. Really looking forward to the Neutron one now.

[@paulcarter7445]

Well done ! Those refreshingly sensible, well-researched and knowledgeable questions are enlightening. Looking forward to more, especially about Neutron. It would be great if you could cover Space Services in detail. Space Services has some great stories, like the solar cells for the James Web space telescope, the Mars helicopter, drug manufacturing in space, Capstone mission to the Moon and the current mission to Psyche. Subscribed.

Great interview! Godspeed Rocketlab!

[@honewhetstone1732]

This was awesome. 🚀🎉

[@vinceisbullish]

Great interview! I’ll do a reaction video to it. I will of course link your video. I’ll ask people also to subscribe. Does your show air on New Zealand TV? As I see that you are new to KZbin. Your production quality is amazing and your research is spot on and the questions you asked were really good as well. 😊

[@MarketsWithMadison]

Thanks Vince that'd be awesome. It doesn't air on TV here (although they've asked for it), only online on this KZbin channel, all podcast platforms (can now watch on Spotify too!) and on the New Zealand Herald website here: www.nzherald.co.nz/business/markets-with-madison/

[@johnwolf7073]

i came here by vince's video

[@make6766]

Thanks Vince! Just watched your update to discover Madison is on KZbin.

[@braydeny]

[@martinmuldoon8166]

Awesome interview!

[@contactandybruce]

Great interview Madison.. I think you need to educate us Aussie's more about Rocket Lab!!

[@charlesmeier8109]

Nice job Madison, well researched and thoughtful questions, leaps ahead of the pablum Banking analyst questions on Investor Calls that cover the space market. Sent here via Vince

[@purefoldnz3070]

looking good in black.

[@shepdogsd]

Vince is Bullish brought me to your channel. FYI

[@jasoncampagna8052]

In before its cool.

[@Mottbox]

👋

[@rayngmelb]

One question I would have like to ask Sir Peter was that, a few years ago on CNBC he mentioned there was a shortage of Aerospace Engineers in the world, and they have borrowed engineers from other engineering disciplines to fill the gap, I was wondering if that is still the case today?

[@MarketsWithMadison]

Great question, I'll bank this for our next chat.

[@rayngmelb]

@@MarketsWithMadison Thanks for that, I have quite a few potential intern candidates for him.

[@44JohnDoe]

There is no deadline in such business. You do the rocket, you do it well. Then show off. Let’s be patient :)
