Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Relativity Space secured a multiyear contract to launch Intelsat satellites.
  • The U.S. Air Force awarded Relativity an $8.7 million contract for additive manufacturing research.
  • Growing demand for reusable rockets aligns with Relativity's focus on the Terran R.

What critics are saying

  • Terran 1's failure to reach orbit raises concerns about technology reliability.
  • Abandoning Terran 1 after one test flight suggests potential strategic missteps.
  • Reliance on unbuilt Terran R poses risks if development faces delays or challenges.

What makes Relativity Space unique

  • Relativity Space uses 3D printing to build rockets with 100x fewer parts.
