Скачать или смотреть Pentagon Picks Rocket Lab to Drop Cargo Anywhere in an Hour

The Air Force Research Lab has tapped Rocket Lab’s reusable Neutron rocket for a 2026 demo under the Rocket Cargo program—aiming to hurl 28,000 lb (13 t) payloads across Earth and land them by parachute, humanitarian-aid style.

• Contract signed May 8 2025; first re-entry test NET 2026.
• Goal: deliver military or disaster-relief supplies point-to-point in under one hour.
• Supporters see a logistics revolution; skeptics flag cost and landing-zone safety.

Could rocket-fast freight change global shipping—or is it just an expensive stunt? Let us know!
