You’re left wondering whether it went a little bit wrong, but I’m pretty sure it was mostly/entirely a deliberate fun little stunt by Rocket Lab.
I’ve got a feeling there was a least one senator present, so maybe the Sound Suppression System at LC3 should henceforth be known as the Senate Suppression System (inspired by the old “Senate Launch System” joke).
Because the video is still unavailable, I’d better elaborate.
This event has just finished. A video of it was streamed live on the official Rocket Lab channel on You Tube.
