Is Rocket Lab about to snag a multi-billion dollar Mars mission? Fresh off NASA's hint of possible ancient life on Mars, Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck pitches a bold plan to fast-track sample returns, challenging the current $11 billion NASA/ESA project. Promising speed and affordability with a new Mars Telecommunications Orbiter, Rocket Lab faces competition from Blue Origin, but touts its proven track record and end-to-end space capabilities.
