Most underrated space agency

YEARS after hearing it the first time, I'm still an absolut fan of the music you made for the end of your videos... So easy going, sweet... And the editing with the old archives is so great... Wish you a great week Tim.
-
So excited for Rocket lab team, video and audio coverage second to none ! Thanks to you too Tim 🙏❤🇨🇦
-
Rocket Lab has the best mission patches, I’m surprised you didn’t showcase the Four of a Kind patch in this stream, it’s a REALLY good patch
-
Go Rocket Lab - from strength to strength!
-
Thank you for the stream. Peaceful Skies.
-
The video feed from the recovery operation not cutting out was likely because of the direction this launch went in. Instead of rapidly moving away over the Pacific like most launches, it more or less followed the New Zealand coastline southwest, so managed to stay within coms range.
-
Space launches are our equivalent of "watching the big game." Live is way better than pre-recorded.
-
That intro song bangs, Nevermind the whole intro visuals and songs bangs.

Thanks for the show! 🚀🚀🚀

I checked the Delta V for circularize a SSO orbit at 500km would be ~60m/s, this should be achievable by restarting the Rutherford engine for one to two seconds. RocketLab chooses to make an extra (cold gas, thus very low ISP) kick stage instead of adding a little bit more fuel to the second stage is very interesting. I have two hypothesis: 1. The lithium ion battery would be too cold after 40 min in orbit. 2. Other modifications needed for restarting a small engine/rocket doesn’t worth the cost.
-
Well done Rocket Lab. No helicopter probably the way to go :)
-
That's cool!! I wonder what will happen if the weather is bad though. Can they recover the booster in heavy wave?
-
Tim Dodd: Scared, not scared...cuz science. ❤️🔥❤️🔥🍻
-
Tim, are there any plans to expand the catalogue of posters in the shop? Love ya thanks ❤

You also need to coordinate with Intercept Games to get them to award a "Most Kerbal Manoeuver of the Year" during the show. Last year would have been flight 1 of Starship. This year so far it would be Japan's Flamey-Side-Up landing.

Wow, 1:05:32 your music suddenly pops, hope you enjoyed it, 'cause we did ;)
-
Thx Tim 😊
-
