- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
The Greens can just Fuck off... First, RocketLab is no longer a New Zealand Company and they will just launch from the US Wallops Island launch site. "An experimental" satellite that satellite that "will test technologies that support development of new capabilities for the US Army" and civil uses as well. New Zealand might as well get the tax from it because they will just launch it from the US. I very much doubt it is breaking any NZ law.
