1 - Theyre building portable launch sites to send rockets to orbit from anywhere in the world within 24 hours notice. So that should fix your issue with the cold. there’s a link to what you’re talking about, not to confuse anyone else about “not making it to orbit” https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2020/12/astra-second-orbital-launch-attempt/ 2 - they made it short of orbit, and have to modify a few things to successfully make it on their next attempt. NASA wouldn’t just huck 7 million dollars at a company not able to meet their criteria. 3 - It’s a contract NASA is using to test Astra’s rockets, so be ready for a large contract after this successful launch eoy. 4 - ARK investments is creating a space ETF for this exact business model to invest in. Not to mention BlackRock funding this already. 5 - I don’t understand what your referencing by “sucking up cash”. Maybe a link you can send would help me understand your concern about cash. Rocket Labs also have no plans to change their business plan even with this new SPAC, that’s from the horses mouth from their ceo during an interview. 6 - HOL has a different business plan than VACQ. Rocket labs has less % value to the SPAC investors currently, compared to HOL which can be found in the investor presentations, and currently with a higher market cap meaning less upside for investment. A whole BILLION more. My money’s on HOL especially adding at these levels.
Alaska is a favorable launch site for polar orbits.. very useful if wanting to maximize Earths rotation for sensing or imaging. Launching from there is cold but not impossible.. Russians don't seem to mind.
Bull case... SpaceX never goes public : )
Even with rocket labs (also good company) there is and will be a lot of need for proven reliable launch service providers.
