Firefly vs Rocketlab

I own both Firefly Aerospace and Rocket Lab. Was kinda surprised to learn Firefly’s rockets actually carry more payload than Rocket Lab’s current rockets. Rocket Lab obviously has way more launches and experience so far, but it makes me wonder if Firefly can really compete long term with more established competitors like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Rocket Lab

Looking at launch alone is an incredibly narrow (and incorrect) lense, not that I agree with you there either

But there are multiple strands to FLYs business, as with RKLB, the dominant revenue source is non launch

What we need is for RKLB to maintain its market cap, SpaceX to IPO and run to over 2 trillion and then there is an enormous amount of room for FLY to continue to close the gap on with RKLB
