Cool a 'space' minister, to go with the other waste of ...space ministers. Cue the puns!

Well, I just got my butt kicked in Mini Golf by my 13 year old Granddaughter so sign me up, I definitely feel like a space cadet lol

No puns from me for the moment.....I think you have already gone where no man has been before....you've won.

Lucky we're in line for a Minister for Space, the rocket race is heating up.  All the rage in European now.

Nice bounce along with a few related stock.

Nice article - wonder how the rocket race will influence RKLB.

We're off to Venus.  Maybe even less than 14 months away.  Isn't that where women are from?

US$67.6 million (NZ$114.4m) revenue for the three months ending Sept 30, which was at the upper end of the company's revised guidance for the quarter.

SPACE X latest rocket launch ends in explosion. Mean footage here.

10 days until Rocket Lab's next launch "The Moon God Awakens" (all their missions sound like heavy metal titles) from Mahia Peninsula.

It'll be their 10th flight this year (their most launches in one year) and 42nd overall.

Huge win for Rocketlab, shares up 24 percent on the news of a $US515M contract with a U.S. Govt customer to design, manufacture, deliver, and operate 18 space vehicles.

The contract includes a base amount of $489M and incentives and options totaling $26M.

Work under the agreement will begin immediately with the delivery of the space vehicles to the Customer for launch slated for 2027, operation of the satellites through 2030, and an option to operate the satellites through 2033.

The market is hating this debt that Rocketlab is taking on.  Share price getting a kicking.

Struggling with whether to sell my remaining RKLB shares, have sold about a 1/3 of them.

been on quite the run......  I firmly believe it will be over a 100 bucks in the next few years.

Neutron Target Price: $50-55 million per launch.

It has been my best performing share by a country mile.

Been on a massive run thats for sure. I have been waiting for it to come back to earth but nope it is still heading to the moon at a blistering pace.

I have no plans to sell and if it drops back significantly I will try and find some funds to buy more.

So many times I have jumped ship too early and watched the sp continue to go up and up

But there are just as many times I have stayed on board and watched the sp go down and down

Neither feels good, so good luck deciding Hawkdog

Probably done the right thing selling a few if you want to avoid future disappointment. I sometimes sell high flyers to cover original entry costs then sit on the rest. I think @lorraina calls them free shares? Rocketlab possibly still has legs as it's being compared to SpaceX valuation, which may IPO in the near future.
