Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

Well here we go again... to it seem easy tp me that even though they test negative they still need to be isolating like every one else that comes into the country that has been in another country... Border staff are the weakest link and they themselve need to be isolating and rotating their staff, not just relying on testing. 

Rotate the staff so they can get time with family...

It’s an understatement to say it takes a risk-taker to build a rocket company from scratch in New Zealand.

But Peter Beck seems surprisingly nonchalant about Rocket Lab’s latest mission to build a much larger, “reusable” rocket to capture a different and larger slice of the satellite launch market.

To date, Rocket Lab has successfully introduced the first dedicated small satellite launch vehicle, Electron, which CEO Peter Beck said would never be reusable. Then, the company successfully recovered a first stage. Now, Beck says Rocket Lab is ready to do something else he previously said they’d never do: build a big rocket.

Amid a botched rollout across the EU, the Italian government notified Brussels of its decision to prevent 250,000 doses from being exported to Australia at the end of last week.
