    Most awaited interview of the year

    Class act Madison, you have my vote for journalist of the year. One of the only out there who asks intelligent and well researched questions! Well done!
  • @saik6730
    Thank you Madison, you are a beauty and the beast. Congratulations Rocket lab. Peter will stay in the history
  • @staceylmoran

    Great interview, RL one of the coolest companies on earth.
  • @HeyPumpkin
    Thanks for another very good interview with Peter Beck. Really looking forward to the Neutron one now.
  • @paulcarter7445
    Well done ! Those refreshingly sensible, well-researched and knowledgeable questions are enlightening. Looking forward to more, especially about Neutron. It would be great if you could cover Space Services in detail. Space Services has some great stories, like the solar cells for the James Web space telescope, the Mars helicopter, drug manufacturing in space, Capstone mission to the Moon and the current mission to Psyche.

  • Nice job Madison, well researched and thoughtful questions, leaps ahead of the pablum Banking analyst questions on Investor Calls that cover the space market. Sent here via Vince

    Great interview! I’ll do a reaction video to it. I will of course link your video. I’ll ask people also to subscribe. Does your show air on New Zealand TV? As I see that you are new to YouTube. Your production quality is amazing and your research is spot on and the questions you asked were really good as well. 😊
