One small stup for munkind...

I just love this.
RocketLab are building an 8 ton payload, human-capable rocket.
And although the first launches will be from Wallops, they're not ruling out later launches from Mahia!

As a proud countryman I fully expect to see the mighty NZDF standing by to support rescue and recovery.
Wonder when ustronaut upplications will open...?

I love watching the RocketLab launches - if only for the delightful young lady who provides the voice over commentary. Only one vowel sound though
