The companies that provide a better service or a more desirable price are the ones that are efficient enough to survive. The others either have to improve their efficiency or get out of the business. This means that the investors (like those investing $21 million) are eager that the company do well.

Lockheed Martin recently announced the end of their Athena rocket business, which launched small satellites to orbit as well as the Lunar Prospector probe. Athena couldn’t compete with the new rockets coming on the market, and was so expensive that it only launched half a dozen times over the past two decades.

Congratulations to Vector for making it this far — it isn’t easy — and I wish Vector continued success in the future.
