@intengineering 📆 Mar 27, 2023 #SpaceX charges $67 million 💵 per #Falcon 9 launch, and Spice said #RocketLab aims to match this on a cost-per-kilogram basis. #Neutron, which will have a slightly lower payload capacity of 28,660 lbs (13,000 kg) to #LEO, will target a "$50 million to $55 million 💵 launch service cost". Neutron is still on track for its first launch 🚀 next year. https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/rocket-lab-says-reusable-neutron-will-compete-directly-with-falcon-9
@NewSpaceEconomy 📆 June 6, 2022 #RocketLab : when #Neutron begins offering commercial #LaunchServices sometime in the future, #Falcon 9 will not be the only competition Neutron will be compared against by customers deciding on a launch service provider. Of particular note, #SpaceX’s #Starship, a super heavy lift launch vehicle, will be available for commercial service years before Neutron. Starship’s payload capacity and cost per kilogram will be orders of magnitude better than Neutron. https://newspaceeconomy.ca/2023/06/22/that-dog-wont-hunt-rocket-labs-neutron-space-launch-vehicle

What you want to avoid is #regulation that locks in a specific set of technologies 🧰 as opposed to expectations for #performances of behavior.
If #policy questions “linger” too long, investors will be scared off, stymying* the company’s growth.
The present “#piecemeal, fragmented licensing approach” needs to be #streamlined. Technology’s #speed and regulation’s #slowness causes friction https://aerospace.csis.org/the-private-sectors-assessment-of-u-s-space-policy-and-law

The US 🇺🇸 #FCC received requests for 38,000 new #satellites in 2021. If half of that were launched that would triple the number of active satellites 🛰️ in #orbit today. As a result, there is a healthy demand for #Launchpads capable of sending a #rocket 🚀 to orbit. https://www.thespacereview.com/article/4563/1
