It's exciting to see Archimedes and know that it's going to the rest stand soon. Hitting he pad in 2024 never seemed realistic, but they aren't the first new space company to lean on aspirational goals.

I'm honestly surprised how little the timeline has slipped. When they announced Neutron in 2021, they were targeting 2024. Taking only 33% longer would pretty good as far as rocket development goes.
