Another startup burning cash. Hope it's not more taxpayer money down the drain.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-16T21:30:00.000Z

it's private funding. Not a cent from you. Calm down.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-16T21:37:00.000Z

Satellite refuelling! Finally someone's actually doing something useful up there. Good on Dawn.

Riley Scott2026-06-16T22:15:00.000Z

sound like a shareholder trying to pump the stock. Lol.

River Cole2026-06-16T21:47:00.000Z

Sounds like a pipe dream. They haven't even launched yet and they're already planning to refuel? Get real.

Sam North2026-06-16T22:16:00.000Z

Worked with some Dawn guys before, they know their stuff. This could actually work if they get the funding.

$42m for a refuelling station in space? Meanwhile our roads are falling apart. Brilliant priorities.

Sam North2026-06-16T22:56:00.000Z

harsh. They've actually flown a suborbital already.

Love seeing kiwi innovation on the world stage! Proud of these guys.

Jack Morrison2026-06-16T23:27:00.000Z

nah, roads are a separate budget. This is private sector doing its thing.

Tom Harris2026-06-16T23:38:00.000Z

Valuation of $195m? Lol yeah right. Overhyped tech bros again.

Quinn Murphy2026-06-17T00:01:00.000Z

Honestly, space junk is a bigger problem. Maybe they should focus on cleaning that up instead.

Tom Harris2026-06-17T00:10:00.000Z

Feels like this is just a way for rich investors to get richer. Not exactly solving real problems.

Alex Rivera2026-06-17T00:57:00.000Z

Right? Some people just can't be proud of anything.

Jack Morrison2026-06-17T00:24:00.000Z

Wait until they run out of cash in 2 years. Classic startup story.

Tom Harris2026-06-17T01:11:00.000Z

up space junk? That's even more impossible. Give this a try first.
