2026-10-20 Rocket Lab's next mission, "We're Not Hawking Around," is scheduled for Wednesday, October 21, 2026, the exact-date first after prior coverage carried wet-dress-rehearsal completion and a "ready" status without an attempt date; the article frames the launch pad — not the balance sheet — as what now sets the tone for the stock, and does not name the vehicle (ad-hoc-news, ad-hoc-news.de/boerse). Watch: the Wednesday flight's outcome and any readout tying it to the Electron cadence ledger, whose push toward a 100th Electron launch went on file October 13.
