New zealand will be the no 2 space power in the near future. Thanks to Ex PM Jacinda Ardern, brightest women of the world.

Why is that? Also isn’t Rocketlab a US owned company ?

Founded by a Kiwi. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Lab

[Edit not sure what it's got to do with Jacinda though..]

Rocket Lab's success has basically nothing to do with Jacinda Ardern?

And South Africa the no 1 space power, I guess. SpaceX was founded by someone from there.

Rocket Lab is now a US-based company. I get that many people like Jacinda Ardern, but attributing Rocket Lab’s success to her is just weird.

Rocket Lab couldn’t even get enough funding in New Zealand, which is why they had to relocate to the USA.
