  1. I saw that fairing they posted on Twitter last week and thought to myself “woah, that’s impressively sized, good stuff folks”

    But from the article

    >”So they post a fairing, makes you think they have a fairing, right?”

    >A little digging into the photo revealed some interesting details. For example, the exit sign in the background is characteristic of those found in Europe rather than the United States. Soon, it became clear that this photo was taken inside the fairing factory of a company called Beyond Gravity, formerly known as Ruag Space, which is based in Emmen, Switzerland. And at the base of the fairing there is a large, white placard blocking a sign, which apparently discloses that this hardware was built for Europe’s Ariane 6 rocket.

    Alright then.

    You guys should read the article though, interesting information. Everything about Relativity Space seems to be some sort of bait and switch.

    The writing is on the wall. Anyone who thinks Firefly, Stoke, Relativity, and RocketLab will all survive are in for a rude awakening. Someone is going home.

  3. Peter Beck from Rocket Lab has been taking a few jabs at Relativity here and there, will be interesting to see if he’s proven rigt eventually
