According to The Sun, Kandice Barber, 35, became friends with the boy on Snapchat so she could send him inappropriate messages, including an image of herself surrounded by sex toys.

To date, Rocket Lab has successfully introduced the first dedicated small satellite launch vehicle, Electron, which CEO Peter Beck said would never be reusable.
