Australian here. I love each and every one of my 4500 RKLB shares supporting this fine company and I am confident in its future because of the management led by Sir Peter Beck. Thanks for bringing this informative interview with Peter.

Curious to know which broker you use?

Oh....I have some catching up to do. Half that so far.

Peter is a rockstar!

[@nickskorner6009]

It’s Sir Peter Beck!

Great episode. Beck can be a little careful in his responses, but you did well to get him to open a little.

What I might have asked is if they could crank up the performance of Archimedes for the 2nd stage? After all, its expendable so you don't need a long lifetime. Those extra seconds of Isp would make a big difference to the payload or orbit.

Always good to have Peter beck 🙃

[@anthonylaiferrario]

Peter! Yo I’m so excited for this ❤

[@RyanBlockb5]

[@ClydeBosco]

WHERE'S NEUTRON? Just in from SpaceNews, "Blue Origin has secured a place in the national security space launch market with a contract Thursday. The company, along with SpaceX and ULA, won National Security Space Launch (NSSL) Phase 3 Lane 1 launch contracts Thursday that are worth up to a combined $5.6 billion over five years."

Can they use the fairing to slow the ship down and then steer it on the way down. If the fairing was spit into 4 you could really fly this thing down.

[@JB-dv7ew]

Is this a space industry dedicated podcast? Did I just strike gold?

[@2150dalek]

So all Rocket Lab 🚀 space craft are named after sub particles? 🔆

[@767er767er]

RKLB!! Peter is great.

I’m not all the way through yet, but I hope you bring up PB,s beef with Transporter/Bandwagon.

[@bpbp277]

not beef, competition

[@stotchmania]

I’d like to see podcasters that watch the other interviews first so they repeat less questions. Also seemed to be a bit time wasteful for someone who’s beyond busy.

[@Krasinski1]

I don't get why he's doing these interviews

[@Jonny_Mac]

I imagine it’s an attempt to win over/ build a strong retail base.

[@braydeny]

All businesses need to market and advertise

[@dallenwall148]

Peter has done interviews with Anthony and Jake previously. This one was a long time coming regardless if RKLB was public or not.
