Space race or hypefest?

I've written a number of columns in the past on the activities of RocketLab and have expressed more than a little skepticism as to their grandiose claims and plans.

Now they're in the news again with reports that they expect to make inroads into the business of commercial satellite launches.

Am I any less skeptical?

Not really.

To be honest, I'd be chuffed to bits if RocketLab's efforts worked out and we ended up with a busy launch facility powered by patented Kiwi technology. Unfortunately, the realist in me sees too many flaws in their plans and claims.

Forums are up!

Yes, people have been complaining about the lack of forums for months now so I finally got off my chuff and finished the transition to the new server and the commissioning of the new forums.

So, if you want to "have your say" then register at the new forums using the magic word Aardvarkrox when asked for it.

Take a moment to introduce yourself to the rest of the Aardvark community and pretty shortly I'll be expanding the number of forums to encompass a number of areas that are regularly discussed on this site.

The contact form is not yet working (got to rejig the CGI scripts) but if anyone wants to email me they can send their communications to editor at this domain or PM me via the forums.

Oh yes, if anyone wants a bit of a plug then the sponsorship space is now up for grabs. Until someone is prepared to offer a donation for the use of this space, I'm happy to offer a free plug to anyone who wants to send me a suitable 150x150 graphic and link.

Stay tuned!

Sorry, the headlines haven't been updated today
