Rocket Lab challenges SpaceX with big Neutron rocket

Rocket Lab, a New Zealand-based company, is transitioning from small, non-reusable rockets to larger, reusable ones, positioning itself as a competitor to SpaceX.

This shift aligns with Rocket Lab's goal to increase launch frequency and attract new customers.
