It's also the age of NZ launching it's own satellites. Sadly this thread bumping up against the Nikola investigation seems to have tainted this thread with doubters. Growing up in NZ we are taught to have an inventive spirit even without resources. Using "number eight wire" as we call it. Stories about farmers inventing jet-boats to head up rapids looking for lost sheep, or a young Peter Beck with a rocket on the back of his bike, then naming his rockets after Rutherford. Not saying every kiwi invention is a winner, but don't let the knockers put you off trying is all.
