Guys:
Thanks for the mockery … sounds like a TRA list!
The question was honestly asked .. I am not a liquid motor specialist … and was
genuinely curious about whether their approach of 3D printing the motor
introduced even more risk.
As everyone has suggested - of course it is risky … part of the reason it is
fun after all.
I do think this is one of the more interesting small payload rockets I have
seen … and hopefully with near term actual results.

Yes, that rocket engine would be Estes 1/4A3-3T :-)
On the serious note:
Rocketry and aerospace in general involves indeed a great amount of risk.

Can anyone on the list cite one rocket engine, including all the ones

"technological' risks?
None come to mind. :-)

Thanks folks. Anyone have opinions about the technology risks of their
motor? Seems to me to be the big issue.

Anyone here have opinions or information about Rocket Labs and their LEO

What I find particularly intriguing is that their two major venture

I don't have anything profound to add, but I agree that their hardware is
possible multiple failures early in their launch program. Obviously,
One thing that will be interesting is how they're set up to deal with
already getting late in the year. They have a flight plan which includes
Their website says a first launch "...planned for 2015..." and it's

I certainly like their "spunk." This is a tough business when you don't
