Beck: Spacecraft components are bigger moats than launch; vertical integration solves supply chain bottleneck▾

Rocket Lab's competitive advantage extends beyond launch to spacecraft components (reaction wheels, star trackers, solar panels) which have massive moats due to fractured supply chains and 12-year reliability requirements. Vertical integration lets them build any spacecraft end-to-end, while capital-efficient culture (Electron to orbit for <$100M vs Virgin Orbit's $1.2B) and public-company discipline enable multigenerational durability. National security programs provide sticky, high-margin revenue.
