It's a straight up fact that the holding company for RocketLab, Rocket Lab USA, traded on NASDAQ as KRLB, is a US company.

Stop injecting nationalistic cheerleading into places it's not necessary.

Lol. Not from New Zealand. It's like saying Burger King is Canadian now that it merged with Tim Horton's and the headquarters is in Toronto. I didn't even inject this into the conversation, I was responding to someone saying "over and over again" that it was an American company, like it matters when over 90% of it's launches are still in the country that it was founded in.
