RocketLab has the most beautiful launching facility in he world. That location on the tip on that peninsula overlooking the ocean, is such a picture perfect place. Also love to see both country's flags hanging in back. You ROCK RocketLab.!!!!
So no proton rocket from Rocket Lab, but other hadrons and leptons exist. They could do the Muon or Tau rocket, or the Sigma rocket, or the Pion rocket
I think that's going to be a very exciting competition. Always good to see like-minded people with an honest and optimistic mindset competing, especially in the rocket industry. We never had that before, just amazing. They gonna push each other even further, if Rocket Lab survives the next 5 years that is. I really hope they do and it's looking good as well but they didn't overcome all necessary milestones yet.
We will see where this goes, neutron will be a huge success if blue origin doesn’t get their shit together soon, And maybe depending on neutrons success we will get a super heavy lift launch vehicle if the mars colonisation efforts are heavy enough
Blue Origin recently said that they have designed their complex with human spaceflight in mind... With New Glenn launching a year ahead of Rocketlab, it'll be interesting. They have a bit of time advantage, but New Glenn is going to be really large in terms of human spaceflight. That will take some more development I think. Crewed Neutron on the other hand is much more similar to existing human capsules like crew dragon, so they may develop theirs faster.
@@WasatchWind Blue Origin is one of those companys that will be forgotten by history, they archieve nothing, they are not innovative, they are way to late to the party and they are only after the money. New Glenn will already be obsolete by the time it is finished. In short, Blue Origin is nothing more than a worthless footnote in the story of human spaceflight and exploration. Rocket Lab on the otherhand is doing stuff at a nice pace, innovates stuff in smart and elegant ways and they secured their niche in the spaceflight industry, future Generations will be reading about them alongside the big Players like SpaceX, ULA, Rocketdyne and co.
@@swenmcheath1798 Do remember that Blue Origin also is a lot more secretive with their advancements than most other space companies, as compared to SpaceX who do their testing right in the public's eye. While I do agree that New Glenn won't be the best of the best when it's released, it still does provide phenomenal power for only having one core and no boosters, which from a design and technical standpoint is impressive. They also have the BE-4 engine, which is an amazing piece of engineering that even ULA decided to use for vulcan. I wouldn't say that Blue Origin will be forgotten to history, but more so that they are helping to define this age of space exploration with the advancements in technology that they have shown, even if they have not proved it to the masses yet.
It's standard in aerospace. Each tool has a specific location. Every tool must be located and placed back in its location before a work shift can end. A *missing* tool can easily find its way into a launch vehicle.🔥🔥🔥
2024 so far: SpaceX sends cargo and maybe even humans to Mars via Starship. Rocket Labs Neutron. Nasa lands astronauts on the Moon. That could be a historical year.
@@YaItxSmoothy BO is not even worth mentioning, ULA is much more of a competitor then BO ever will be. Also i said "rival" as in "friend you compete with for shitz and gigglz although he will wipe the floor with you" (At least in RLs case, bezos probably takes it a lot more serious)
Yeah BO hasn't done anything of note. YET. But one day you will wake up and it will be BO thats putting people on the moon and on Mars. Space x has all they hype now and maybe they will be first, but don't count BO out because they aren't showing their hand. Elon may be the richest man in the world on paper, but Bezos has FU cash in his pocket now.
He ate his hat! What an absolute LEGEND! Another large rocket launch provider in the world?! So exciting! And an epic video with amazeballs production and editing?! Kudos to the video production crew!
@@negocios6004 main reason for the problems with n1 was because Korolev, the leader of the n1 program died. As long as elon doesn't die it should be fine
@@immigrantgaming420epic you cannot compare korolev, the leader of soviet technology, the man behind many achievements of humanity with... elon musk. I'm pretty sure that starship will explode sometime during its first flight and the show that opens afterwards... wow
2024 might be the best year for space exploration in history. Cuz so many revolutionary rockets and space ships have been scheduled on that year, Godspeed Human space exploration!
I'm proud to be a Kiwi and to have this man running a space company based here in New Zealand and hes taking the words go big or go home to the extreme. Go rocket lab cant wait to see Neutron fly
You guys have the most beautiful launch site in the world, and the most beautiful man launching rockets there. If RL is an underdog company, it won't be for long if Peter meets this promise. He will, too. Props to NZ.
ULA makes big beautiful rockets and i frankly really like their CEO. But if the next one they build isn’t reusable and cost competitive with Spacex, I’d bet my pants they’ll be acquired before Artemis happens and completely rebranded to make someone else money who’s smarter. Or just die, slowly.
@BRODY PETERSON Not initially and they are only going to recover the engine section (which might be cost effect). But without a focused effort on reusability now, I'm afraid they will be obsolete before they can get it working.
you can just keep your eyes on starship and neutron. SLS is dying because nasa is government funded and controlled, and progress on new glenn is moving way too slow to be considered.
Fantastic news. I always thought SpaceX and Blue Origin were going the be the leaders of new-space technology, but Rocket lab has definitely thrown their partially eaten hat into the ring.
@@nathanlewis5871 maybe, maybe not, we haven't really seen all that much more of New Glenn than we have of Neutron, both have shown us fairing halves, BO has shown a bit more, but they also just the other day delayed their maiden launch to Q4 2022, which means 2023 at best. Not impossible that Rocket Lab launches Neutron first :) Unlikely, but not impossible, we have no idea how far they have come in their design and build program. It's not like they started the design a few weeks ago, they have already built a fairing, so the design is probably quite far along.
As a SpaceX fan, I didn't really know much about Rocket Lab. But now, I'm positively excited about what they'll do in the coming years. Competition is always good for progress!
@Marc Jackson Not true. Their launch vehicles are irrelevant, but It's still NASA. They are SpaceX's and Boeing's most valuable customers and are the primary source of their money.
I am so excited to see where Rocket Lab takes this! I grew up watching the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo rockets. I am glad that I have lived long enough to see the second golden age of rocket flight! Go Rocket Lab!!
I’ve never been more excited about a company ... this video is immaculately dramatic and on-brand. It speaks to their attention to EVERY little detail. If I ever think “time to sell”, I’m going to watch this video first.
@@phantomswordorpoo Blue Origin is more “Giant leaps, secretly”. They’re going from a suborbital rocket to a heavy lift launcher, while other companies have at least one or two small (Electron) or medium lift launchers (Falcon 9) in the interim. Rocketlab is far more suited to the motto than Blue Origin.
@@Imbeachedwhale yeah. They should've just made a neutron sized rocket after the new shepard rather than making the new glenn right after the new shepard
In the 2020s, we will see tons of human orbital spaceflights from - -Crew Dragon -Starship -Boeing with Starliner -NASA and Orion -hinted at by Blue Origin -Rocketlab -Russia with Soyuz -China with Long March -and then India is also getting in their own human spaceflight program. Fantastic things are happening.
@@WasatchWind Starliner may never fly. New Glenn will but manrated? Neutron has a tough row to hoe to get manrated. It takes many successful flights of the booster to be accepted. Falcon 9 has them falcon heavy won't get manrated. Starship will be operational before it has enough launches. Neutron's stated first purpose has geeat potential. Starlink's competitors will pay extra for a ride to orbit that isn't SpaceX. " cheaper than ULA, Arianespace or Roscosmos? - sign me up"
@@WasatchWind and potentially Dream-Chaser too, it's gonna be absolutely insane, the space race is really heating up, I imagine this could see the greatest technological advance since WW2 if enough companies get involved, and especially when there are base's off earth
I am soooo proud of this company. I believe in you Peter. I believe in the widening of the Space Super Highway for normal people to access and Rocket Lab will have a huge part on building the infrastructure up there.
Blue origin might be able to catch up now that JB quit as CEO of Amazon But given that they still haven't reached orbit, It would probably take them 2-3 years to catch up by my estimate anyway More to be able to compete Also I'm your 69 like(nice)
i think SX tend to say things that are only idea, not real next step, like Carbon rocket, falcon 5, ITS... I don't blame them. It's just that they are more open
I think he looks like Samwise Gamgee, portrayed by Peter Beck, sorry, I meant Sean Astin. Very likable character! With a habit to eat a lot, maybe also hats 😄
@@tikkivolta2854 just an observation and sometimes that look can have a deeper meaning that might change lifestyles such as the amount of sun screen you put on, if you need to go to the hospital, whether your nose is missing and needs to be found 😂 your friends must feel tense when telling jokes around you friend
The funny thing is that you do what you initially said you would never do .... like rocket re-usability and now, building a larger rocket. Glad to see that y'all are open to new data, new interpretations, new possibilities. Good luck!
We got proton, we got electron, now neutron. Make an atom now. It'd be a Proton but it's strap-ons would be Electrons and it should have a Neutron last stage.
Just think of the excitement to come....engine details, recovery method, propellant types, prototypes, tests. When I was 5 years old I watched the Apollo 11 moonwalk, in the middle of the night in the UK. I quite clearly still haven't grown up as I still get a thrill from spaceflight. Keep the innovation coming fellas.............I can hardly wait.
Amazing announcements aside, this video was absolutely perfectly done. I actually find myself re-watching it. It still blows me away how well they pulled this presentation off. None of us saw it coming. 👍🚀😉
