This man is brilliant and it was so much fun to pick his brain. This is excellent interview with lots of new info. Late in the interview they talked a out aerospike engines, RL did play with them at one stage.
Ringing in 2019 with new rockets rolling off the production line and down to the pad.
Meet Rosie. She processes Electron's composite stages in just 12 hours.
Thought it actually made stages but after 2nd looks seems like stages a built elsewhere. Rosie does all drilling and machining. There are methods of 3d printing carbon fibre, not sure how they do it.As time goes on I'd expect more processes will be automated.
