🇳🇿 RocketLab “On Closer Inspection” Launch Thread!
Would any spaceflight/rocket enthusiasts be interested in setting up a Rocket Lab community?
If a Rocket Lab community is created, would you be willing to co-moderate it with me? I don’t expect the workload would be high, but having multiple mods is good for redundancy, and having a mod who could provide a New Zealand perspective would be nice.
I can do that
