Once the electrical system disconnected in flight, it cut power from the rocket’s battery to the electric turbopumps on the Electron’s second stage Rutherford engine.

'The Electron is designed to deliver payloads of up to 330 pounds (150 kilograms) into a polar orbit some 310 miles (500 kilometers) above Earth.'

That's three Nancy Pelosis or half a Gerrold Nadler. Who's up for some amateur rocketry?

Space is hard. But some exciting stuff going on now. First astronaut splashdown since 1975 tomorrow. SpaceX likely to hop their full-scale Starship prototype in the next few days. Latest Mars rover on its way.
