Yes, Rocket Lab is blowing up engines. No, it's not a big deal, CEO says.

Here's something that caught my attention — Rocket Lab recently had a pretty dramatic engine test at NASA’s Stennis Space Center. But don’t worry, their CEO says it’s no big deal. According to Eric Berger from TechCrunch, a Rocket Lab employee called the fire department after a test caused a fire and what looked like a catastrophic engine explosion. Satellite images show the roof ripped off one of the test cells — definitely not just an electrical fire. But here’s where it gets interesting — Rocket Lab’s CEO insists this was an isolated incident, and the company’s testing program continues as planned. As Berger reports, even with this infrastructure damage, the company sees it as part of the process — like a necessary step to improve and innovate. So what does this actually mean for Rocket Lab? Well, it’s a reminder that in space tech, setbacks happen, but they’re often just a sign you’re pushing the boundaries. Keep an eye on this one — there’s more to come.
