Rocket Lab are in development hell at the moment and while their financials are decent, Electron has had a failure every few launches and Neutron is due NET 2024, but with no news of an Archimedes hot fire, it seems unlikely that we'll see anything before mid 2025. By saying development hell I'm saying that other new space companies other than SpaceX are in that difficult in between point where they're burning cash on developing the rocket without yet being able to sell significant rides and without the leverage of knowing that the government will give you a blank check if you run out of money. The important factor being that small launch doesn't make enough money to fully fund medium launch, there just isn't enough demand for small launch with rideshares being cheaper. However, medium launch can fund more medium launch or even heavy launch, as there is much more demand in the medium weight range.
