THE SELF-TAUGHT ENGINEER GOING HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH ELON MUSK AND JEFF BEZOS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Rocket Lab aims to fly its Neutron rocket, which is reusable, by the end of the year. Landing the rocket's booster will be a challenge - only SpaceX has achieved this feat. Rocket Lab's founder, Peter Beck, has a fixation on detail and form that has guided his course as an entrepreneur. The company's newly constructed launchpad is an example of this - it needed to be able to withstand 1.5 million pounds of thrust, but Beck added another requirement: it also had to look beautiful.
