To add to the coolness, Rocket Lab brings a healthy amount of Kiwi irreverence to the process.

Like back in 2018, they launched "It's Business Time" with a nod to the Flight of the Conchords song of the same name.

Cool! Thanks for posting, I was finally just able to see a launch. Every time I’ve remembered about one they scrubbed the launch and then I’d forget about the next time.
