Private New Zealand aerospace company Rocket Lab completed its final ground-based test today and is now ready to launch New Zealand into the space race with its Atea-1 launch vehicle
Q. Isn't the fact that they are down under prevent them from launching directly into the outer space because they would have to go through the earth first?
A: No, actually all they need to do is drop their rocket and it will fall down off the planet, saving them a lot of fuel.
