"In terms of orbital rockets, only NASA's space shuttle and SpaceX's Falcon 9 vehicles have demonstrated the capability of re-flying an engine. With Rutherford, Rocket Lab has now also flown a rocket engine that landed in the ocean for the first time."

I forgot to comment on this earlier, but I hope it's a precursor to an eventual state where Rocket Lab has acquired Astra's Hall Effect thrusters and added it to their Space Systems portfolio. It makes a lot more sense there than it does with Astra at the moment.
We'll have to see if Astra gets its act together with Rocket 4 or whether the Astra Spacecraft Engine becomes something else Rocket Lab picks up in a firesale.

"Musk mostly blew off Rocket Lab and Beck. Over the next few years, Beck would fashion himself as SpaceX’s worthiest rival and the one likeliest to benefit from an increasingly distracted Musk, who’s now carrying a Twitter-size millstone around his neck. And Beck would do it in the least Musky way possible."

"That leaves the launch market facing a strange paradox: Technical challenges and robust competition have made it difficult for new rocket builders to gain traction and raise funding, leading to predictions of a brutal rocket-maker winnowing. Meanwhile, satellite operators say they want more and better options to put hardware on orbit."
