>while all the engineering, design, manufacture, operations, etc. are in NZ

I'm not sure how Rocket Lab splits design/manufacturing but they just moved into an pretty sizable facility in Hungtington Beach, CA a few months ago and I know for a fact that they have engineers and technicians on staff there.

In any case it's great to see them progressing.

Turns out I was mistaken. If you look at their careers website (https://rocketlabusa.com/careers/positions/) it seems as though the engines are being designed and/or built in California and the rocket and software is being done in NZ.
