It is a little curious that he didn't do drone launches to iron out the technology though. If you planned a new launch technology that is how you would do it. It's how Rocket Labs for eg got going. But despite their successes they are yet to seek to enter the crewed flight market. I doubt the NZ govt would let them so it would have to be from the new US facility where such things are laxer.
