We're in the dawn of a new space revolution, says engineer Peter Beck: the revolution of the small. In a talk packed with insights into the state of the space industry, Beck shares his work building rockets capable of delivering small payloads to space rapidly and reliably -- helping us search for extraterrestrial life, learn more about the solar system and create a global internet network.

Rocket Lab has its own KZfaq channel where there's a few videos up, as well as recordings of all their previous launches. They do high quality live webcasts of all launches, too. It's exciting because Rocket Lab are innovating in completely different ways to SpaceX, making them just as interesting to follow despite their focus on small launch.

Yet another comment section full of frothingly one-eyed SpaceX fanbois who listened to an Elon presentation, watched a couple of Falcon 9 launches, and now think they know more about the satellite launch business than the guy giving the talk. SpaceX is an amazing company that's achieved some incredible things in 20-odd years, largely thanks to Elon's ability to attract and retain some very talented engineers and operations/management staff. What Peter Beck and RocketLab have achieved in around five years with a fraction of SpaceX's funding is also pretty remarkable, and they will continue to innovate and succeed in their chosen market of smallsat/rideshare launchers.

I'm not typically a big fan boy however I suppose like anyone over the years there are many people throughout history (Michelangelo and DaVinci) that I've enjoyed learning about and have found myself astounded by the level of contribution they've provided through the course of their lives and study. Years ago I developed a certain fondness for Richard Branson. Not only for what he's achieved in his life but also from what I seen of his adventurous lifestyle, and many other reasons. After that, Elon (modern day DaVinci?) Musk. In the last year I've ran across tidbits of Peter Beck and each time the gut (our so called second brain) says "Yeah, I dig this Beck guy"). There are quite a few more and as well all know a huge number of men and women throughout history that have made so many amazing contributions to mankind in every field known. The thing that gets me about these guys, and I believe all three have this quality, is a certain humble way of presenting/delivering/sharing what they are up to that makes you want to pop off to the pub for burgers and beer and hear more. The contribution Peter and Rocket Lab have made already is phenomenal. I believe the future for them, and us, is pretty bright. Looking forward seeing what they bring to the table.

Then you could cut back to how everything came to be. And for extra thrills, had she not been able to revive him, what would she do?

@@OldManPaxusYT This talk was in May 2019. This summer they revealed they would gonna reuse Electron's first stage, mostly because it is hard to increase construction rates without going crazy and with reuse if you can use the booster just another time you're basically doubling production. Just as recently as last week they did the first reentry test successfully proving the Electron first stage could survive reentry or as "The Wall" like Peter says. Next step is in air recovery of the booster via helicopter which will come once they are ready to do so.

@@lewismassie That's true that Elon Musk started with things other than building space rockets. But so did Peter Beck -- he built his company up for many years, doing contracts for american military manufacturers and DARPA before switching to space launch vehicles. And he was only able to do this by attracting a vast amount of money from investors -- same as SpaceX. There is even more similarity -- neither company would have been possible without being able to tap already existing in Los Angeles area ecosystem of aerospace manufacturing --- they both got engineers with the necessary experience and knowledge in rocket propulsion, avionics, navigation and guidance, plus access the necessary equipment and components. As much as both companies innovate, they still very much depend on these resources.

Tehcnically the second stage of Electron doesn't deorbit, it is just left in an elliptical orbit and atmospheric drag makes that orbit decay. SpaceX does that on all GTO missions. For LEO missions when there is enough performance left they do an active deorbit burn basically bringing the second stage as soon as possible

You will find 6 kick stages and 4 second stages from Rocket Lab still in orbit, while all of the recent SpaceX launches to LEO have deorbited immediately after launch.

Because somehow it's awfully unfair. I mean, they're even counting the Electron launches to the US launches on wikipedia. Why? That's not a US rocket and my guess is the only reason why Lockheed Martin got a piece of Rocket Lab is so that they can launch from the USA, i.e. to get US military contracts and get some cash inflow. )

@jamesengland7461 4 жыл бұрын

Perhaps not in all cases. I agree with you, but perhaps they've found a way around that? It may be in terms of the costs of production as well as higher cost per pound factored into much smaller minimum weight. Think of buying groceries in bulk- they're cheaper long term, but only if you have the storage space to place them and the money to buy large quantities. If you have a bicycle or have to carry your groceries on the bus or train to your tiny apartment, you can't buy massive packs of anything. In this case, maybe a high school science class could raise $100,000 to launch a micro satellite, where they couldn't raise $10M. And with miniaturization, they don't need to.

@noodlesthe1st 4 жыл бұрын
