Today I am excited to share my recent experience of meeting the people from Rocket Lab. It was an incredible opportunity for Kahu children to learn about space. Kāhu had the chance to learn about how long it takes a Rocket to get to space.

We were told it takes about 8 to 10 minutes to get to space from Earth. The next question was which type of petrol do they use for the rocket ships? They informed us that they use Liquid Hydrogen in rockets. Rocket lab people also told us where they sent the rockets, it was in Mahia close to Gisborne or in Cape Reinga up North.

The best part was they even told us what the next plan in the future for Rocket Lab was to send a rocket to Mars. In the end, all of the Kahu students had a chance to ask questions about space. Overall, it was an unforgettable time, and I feel grateful to have had the chance to meet such nice people from Rocket Lab.
