Default Rocket Lab’s big ‘It’s Business Time’ launch targets this weekend for takeoff

Congrats to Rocket Lab on their successful launch!:

"A small rocket from a little-known company lifted off Sunday from the east coast
of New Zealand, carrying a clutch of tiny satellites. That modest event — the
first commercial launch by a U.S.-New Zealand company known as Rocket Lab — could
mark the beginning of a new era in the space business, where countless small
rockets pop off from spaceports around the world. This miniaturization of rockets
and spacecraft places outer space within reach of a broader swath of the economy."
