Would any spaceflight/rocket enthusiasts be interested in setting up a Rocket Lab community?

Easiest way to promote you to mod is on a post or reply you make in the community.
Same goes for you @[email protected] if you’re keen to also take on a moderator role.
Perhaps an into post for the community might be a good start, otherwise I believe I was promised a rocket launch tonight!
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
Thanks, that’s awesome!
Good idea, I’ve just made a intro/welcome post now.
That particular launch has slipped to early next week to allow for additional launch preparations. I’ll post a launch thread in the next couple of days.
