As Rocket Lab makes history shipping twin spacecraft for NASA’s Mars mission, we catch up with company founder and CEO Sir Peter Beck. 

Our conversation at Rocket Lab’s Auckland site, follows a June-quarter revenue jump of 70%, and is in anticipation of its Neutron rocket launch in 2025, which the company says will end the SpaceX monopoly for medium launch vehicles.     

Find out why Rocket Lab is actually an infrastructure company, how it builds for interplanetary research (think the Red Planet) faster and cheaper, and the state of the space industry. Plus what does Sir Peter like to invest in?
