Well the technology is cool, no doubt about that. What I find kind of less cool is that it's R&D done on the back of the NZ tax payer (oh and hey they're applying for even more funding), with intellectual property rights going to a US based company, serving a primarily US/Europe based customer base, and then requiring us to spend more NZ tax payer money to set up an agency to oversee it's operations which will be ongoing costs even if Rocket Labs move off shore (which they ostensibly are anyway).
But yeah, the tech is fucking cool, just a pity it's not ours.
