Rocket Lab's Peter Beck Challenges SpaceX and Blue Origin

Peter Beck, a self-taught engineer from New Zealand, founded Rocket Lab in 2006.

Starting from a garage, he built the company into a major player in the space industry.

Rocket Lab specializes in small, efficient rockets and has launched nearly 200 satellites.

The company also designs satellites and manufactures spacecraft components.

Beck's ambition is to compete with SpaceX and Blue Origin, despite having fewer resources.

Rocket Lab's Neutron rocket, designed to carry heavy loads, is a key project that could help the company challenge its bigger rivals.

Beck has faced challenges, including delays and lawsuits, but Rocket Lab continues to grow and secure major contracts.
