A couple of months ago I asked for Rocket Lab flags and logos in Kerbal Space Program, and Rocket Lab agreed! So I sat down with CEO and long time rocket builder Peter Beck to talk about what Rocket Lab is doing and to try to fly Kerbal versions of the Electron and Photon.
You can of course get Kerbal Space Program on PC/Mac/Linux/Playstation/XBox

And you can find out more about Rocket Lab and the Electron launch vehicle at their website:

Remember watching you 6 years ago! Ahh the good times!
Scott, why are the PKE Nefedov experiments taboo?? not even wiki has info on it.
Kinda sad we couldn't get a reaction from Peter Beck about the Kerbal Venus being all purple.
Can you play Spaceflight Simulator
Let's goooooo!
Get Tori Bruno (CEO of ULA) next! He is very accessible and knows KSP.
What a cool dude.
Beck is cool, KSP ins't. But always GREAT content Mr Manley! Please keep it up.
SpaceX has 26 commercial launches planned for 2021, how many Starlink launches can they fit in?
This is so disrespectful.. you were a terrible host this time.
Good info, when u not playing games and ignoring the conversation lol
This interview is the embodiment of ADHD.
Given how expensive universities have become, and how many people end up with degrees but never create anything even remotely awesome, there's a lot to be said about just rolling up your sleeves and putting your time in inside an actual workshop. There's always the internet, expert consultations and the library for anything that you need help learning. At the end of the day, the future belongs to those who put in the time and do the hard work…
I laughed my ass when the rocket failed at launch, and Peter saying : "you don't wanna see that happen" Omg that killed me 😂😂😂
We need a mission with a "FLY SAFE" name on it ! 😂
This interview is get as good if watch it a second time!
Never heard such a funny laughter from him 😂
Peter: "Uhu, we don't want this to happen"
– Memorable ♡
Claims to want to compete with SpaceX & Blue Origin
Buys a company that specifies in building expendable engines made for 20th century rockets
Peter you nut ball lmao
If electric motors are used to drive the actual pump instead of turbines, why do we call them *turbo*pumps? I thought it's like a turbocharger: it's only called "turbo" if it's driven by a turbine. Is it just that we have come to call all main fuel pumps in rockets motors "turbopump", and have forgotten why? I notice that Peter catches himself a few times and corrects "electric turbo…" to "electric pumps", which makes more sense.
Can someone explain how high can Starship fly with only three engines. If the Starship were launched into space using the 28 raptor booster, could the Starship be fully fuelled, and could it get to the moon.
Peter Beck seems like a beautiful person , comes off as kind, pragmatic, very intelligent and with a developed appreciation for elegance and aesthetics.
He seems a little forlorn here and I hope that he's doing alright.
Rocket on, kiwi spaceman.

Which mod do I download to get Peter Beck in my game?
Playing KPS right now, seen this and it was amazing!
I wonder if he is using H2O2 in the Curie engine? It's a relatively good monopropellant and is hypergolic with kerosene.
That guy is like the sane, polite version of Elon Musk.
Did I get that right that this guy has no academic degree? Respect for still leading a rocket company! That's a whole new level of "learning on the job".
One rocket per month?! Go Rocketlab! That's amazing!
It's business.
It's business time.
You know when I'm down to my socks it's time for business that's why they call it business socks.
That engine isn't stock, right?
Could Kerbal Space Program or some other program used to simulate shockwave impact on space shuttle like one seen in Expanse season 5 episode 4? How realistic is for space craft to escape just shockwave, and how big impact it would have it shockwave still reached the space craft in case the space craft started to escaping the shockwave too late.
How bright would the asteroid be in the night sky?
It'll be really cool when space infrastructure gets built up. Like if you could launch a small, (relatively) inexpensive, simple, and reliable rocket to LEO only needing two stages and minimal fuel. You could then dock in LEO, strap on a waiting third stage with pre-fueled tanks, and head off to your destination. Maybe the Moon where you could swap them out with a smaller version for the return trip to Earth. When the supply and science missions can be separated, that's when things will really take off (pun intended).
@15:00 You can see when the first stage cuts out and the compression on the upper stage is relieved
Peter Beck is my favourite Kiwi.
Thanks to both of you for the interview.
