That's good. It's turning out to be a year of new big rockets. Perhaps Blue Origin can join the party too.

The final Vega flight might have an issue.

Apparently 2 of its fuel tanks went missing during a refurbishment of the Italian manufacturers site. They were found at a landfill after being crushed.

HTF do you lose fuel tanks for a space rocket?
