Powered landings would require more fuel which with how much fuel little electron holds now I don't even think they would really be able to make it to orbit because you have to save fuel for the entry and landing burn. If they made electron bigger it would basically be a medium rocket and Rocket Labs isn't in the business for medium rockets.

Yeah but the way I see it, spacex becoming a monopoly is kind of a punishment for the aerospace industry stopping to push boundaries. The industry was basically stagnant for a decade after development of the shuttle stopped (Same thing for Tesla and the automotive industry btw). It usually just takes someone innovating where others think it's not worth it to get an entire industry back into work mode. That's how progress should be.

Are there second hand (sorry, I mean Float-Proven) ships that could fill this role, or will something need to be custom built? One Rocket Lab owned helicopter per ship? Helicopters leased on a per-mission basis? One helicopter owned by Rocket Lab, shuttles around the world from launch site to launch site as needed? Are there any launch profiles which would allow the helicopter to be deployed from land?

The ship in the animation looks like a bog-standard PSV to me. Maybe some adaption of crane(s) and a cradle needs to be added. The empty mass of the 1st stage is 0,95t, so pretty much any turboshaft helicopter will do. Probably want a twin engine one for operations over water and for safety margin. They'll probably lease the whole setup, at least for testing purposes, but this isn't exactly rocket science. That part they've got down.

@@ArKritz84 "bog-standard PSV"? Translation please. Do I recall the type of ship and helicopter shown in common use for off-shore oil fields? Not sure a specialized crane and cradle needed. Doesn't have to leave the helipad. Booster sections are pushed around the factory by hand. So just strap it sideways to the chopper; when near land, fly it direct to the factory. No offloading, transferring to truck needed. (OK, can be tricky to move things around on a deck at sea. But lots of heavy stuff is moved around on aircraft carriers without cranes.)

@@Smellindamix It doesn't matter too much about the accuracy as long as they can reuse the rocket. Also parachute adds way less weight compares to grid fins and landing legs. And SpaceX couldn't get the falcon heavy's center core for three times due to over heating or weather is too extreme for the droneship to come back and damaged the rocket.

@@ElizabethGreene That's definitely the most expensive part... the specs for those batteries alone are insane. The engines themselves are fairly cheap, being entirely 3d printed, but i'm sure they're not free. It'd also be nice to save the carbon-fiber fuselage.

@@ryanspence5831 I read that they jettison batteries throughout the launch as they are being used up to reduce weight. I doubt they could be recovered unless they have parachutes too (which I don't think they do). Recovery of the rocket will be awesome. Hopefully they can do something about the batteries.
