Rocket Lab is entering a league of its own --reaching 50 space launches in the shortest space of time. 

Its latest electron rocket launched this morning from the Mahia Peninsula, is taking a French satellite into orbit. 

Rocket Lab’s Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Morgan Connaughton, told Heather du Plessis-Allan “A lot of rockets don’t get past ten – and we're talking globally here – it's a massive deal.” 

Connaughton said “To get there faster than anyone else... it puts us up there with the best rocket companies in the world – it's us, and Space X.”
