sourcery(@sourceryy):Rocket Lab recently delayed Neutron’s first launch date to 2027. Starcloud CTO Ezra Feilden (@EzraFeilden) breaks down why it’s taking longer: “Composite manufacturing is really hard.” “Very large composite structures often take a bit longer than you expect, especially when you're producing them for the first time.” “I have a lot of faith that Rocket Lab can get Neutron flying regularly. They've proven that. They have 100 launches of Electron, so they can do scale.” “We’re definitely rooting for them.”
