Episode description

“My two biggest competitors are the two wealthiest people on the planet. And capital is a giant tool and a giant weapon, especially in the space industry.”

In this episode Emma Robinson sits down with Peter Beck, the CEO of Rocket Lab, who shares how the company is facing off against the giants and the decision to go public.  We also discuss Rocket Lab's unique approach to vertical integration, making it a one-stop-shop for building, launching, and even operating spacecraft.

This episode also offers a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of competing in the space race, underscored by the reality that success hinges on avoiding that “one tiny error” that could lead to disaster. Learn about the passion, the pressure, and the precision needed to succeed in space, straight from the heart of one of its most ambitious players.
