Just last year, Rocket Lab released its Electron booster three different times, two of those times being within a two month time span alone. It is presumed that the Electron booster will be sought out by the national security market with it being such a prominent advancement in the space world. A space tourism program is also expected to start, with Virgin Galactic reaching space last year. Spectators assume it will begin this year in 2019.

Key Takeaways:

• The Electron Booster by Rocket Lab has been released two times in just the past two months alone.
• Many companies are looking to secure profit through this invention due to its national security market.
• A Dragon spacecraft is rumored to be released by SpaceX in the next few months.
