Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Colin Canfield, Investor Relations Manager at @RocketLabNZ - as the company gears up for the next flight of its Electron small-scale launch vehicle.

We kick off this episode with an elevator pitch for Rocket Lab, exploring the company's vision as articulated by CEO Peter Beck, "We go to space to improve life on Earth."

Colin delves into what sets the company apart from competitors, including Elon Musk's SpaceX. He shares insights on the company's vertical integration strategies, mentioning the recent leasing of Lockheed Martin's facility in Maryland, United States.

We discuss Rocket Lab's growth trajectory since going public in 2020, and Colin's insights on the optimal investment horizon in this space. He walks us through the significance of small satellites and advances in rocket engine reusability and hypersonic technology.

Transitioning to financials, Colin dissects the company's Q2 results, revenue growth, and Q3 guidance, offering insights into Rocket Lab's path to profitability. To conclude, we reflect on 'space' as an emerging asset class, with Colin listing potential risks for retail investors and sharing his take on the next big idea shaping the future of the space economy.

Before he joined Rocket Lab, Colin was an analyst on the institutional investors’ aerospace and defence team at Barclays and worked in equity research and aerospace and defence at Citi. He graduated from Marquette University with a bachelor’s in business administration.
