Maybe, but this reads cleaner than real life usually looks.. everyone's gonna dogpile the rocket bit NZ Herald group chat is gonna go off. Feels like the context matters more here than people think.

Night time news, great. Another company riding the space hype while we can't afford eggs.

Wait did they say Nasdaq-100? That's huge, same index as Apple and MSFT

Finn Walker2026-06-12T21:19:40.000Z

Awesome news before bed! Rocket Lab putting us on the map

Stuff2026-06-12T21:29:40.000Z

Is that the same Nasdaq-100 that has all those crypto companies? Or am I thinking of something else

Rowan Blake2026-06-12T21:34:40.000Z

mate, different index. This is big tech, not crypto.

Grace Patel2026-06-12T21:44:40.000Z

Yeah but spacex is still king, rocket lab is just a footnote

Sage Lawson2026-06-12T21:49:40.000Z

Isla Cooper2026-06-12T21:54:40.000Z

anyone working in this space has probably seen this coming.. Execution is what will decide whether this helps.
