I voted Neutron, but Relativity already dropping Terran-1 and focusing exclusively on Terran-R would change my vote if voting now.

Although at the same time, they're now talking about 2026 as their launch debut, while Peter Beck is still talking about 2024 for Neutron. While I can't seriously suggest that Neutron won't slip until 2025 at least, that would still put it ahead of Terran R (which may also slip further).

As rule they all slip from target date. Seems both Firefly and Relativity engine development is ahead of RL. While RL seems to be ahead on infrastructure and LV build.

Ok, we are very close to the debut of the 3 of this rockets, maybe all 3 flight in 2026...

Will see...

By the way Beta = Eclipse

Yeah, if I had to guess, I think Neutron will fly in 2026 (not their currently claimed 2025), and the other two will slip to 2027. But that's just speculation on my part. I hope they all fly and are successful.
