Joe: You are correct. I simply cut and pasted from the previous launch race list because the leader board hadn’t changed. My mistake. I have fixed it.

The company is still a long way from that. Will competitor Astra achieve this goal? The question is whether Rocket Lab is still economically viable as a company with this launch rate?

Note on Astra: There are rumors on Twitter that the upcoming launch date has been postponed because it is more beneficial for certain stock option holders.

I thought the launch totals was China 41 to US 39 with them launching tonight.
