I’m alway reminded of the James Bond movie You Only Live Twice when I look at neutron.

Here is in an interview with Doug Sinclair I conducted a while back, who was a cofounder or RocketLab before retiring.

Rocket Lab has posted footage of "Hungry Hippo" fairing testing to X today (23-Aug-2026):

Pre-flight testing with Hungry Hippo is underway We're opening and closing the Hippo's two permanently attached fairing halves under flight-like conditions to simulate how they'll perform for Stage 2 deployment and Neutron's return to Earth.

After testing, Hippo will return to its hangar and wait to be attached with Neutron's interstage when it arrives in Virginia.

Still makes me think of SPECTER’s rocket from You Only Live Twice. And it seems to me it could potentially have the same application - if not landing another spacecraft then at least dragging it into an uncontrollable re entry.

Rocket Lab is seeing red about NASA’s decision on a Mars spacecraft
“NASA’s award decision appears to be inconsistent with the eligibility criteria.”
