"Congressional Memo Reveals Rocket Lab's Neutron Launch Readiness Misrepresentation"
An internal congressional memo raises doubts about Rocket Lab's claim that its Neutron rocket will be ready for launch by December 15, 2024, to meet a crucial Space Force contract deadline. The memo suggests that Rocket Lab has misrepresented its launch readiness and escalates its campaign to gain a competitive advantage. Uncertainties around the rocket's engine testing and completion of launch infrastructure at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility are highlighted as major issues. Rocket Lab declined to comment on the memo's claims.
