Molly O’Shea(@MollySOShea):In 2021, Rocket Lab went public & acquired 3 companies. "I don't recommend that. That is really painful." @Peter_J_Beck says acquiring companies is like buying a car off a used car lot: "They're going to hate me for this analogy." "You look at the nice polished car, & it all looks great, & it's all shiny. It's not until the drive home that you realize the visor's squeaking, the wheel's rumbling, & all of the things that just aren't quite right."
