Amid heavy competition, Relativity Space secures $140 million in funding

#1

From Ars Technica:

"There's no question that there are many companies racing to develop rockets to deliver small satellites into low-Earth orbit. And there's no doubt that the small satellite market—from governments to commercial constellations—will likely only support a handful of private companies.
...
Amid this market, however, Relativity Space announced Tuesday that it has closed a $140 million Series C funding round led by Bond and Tribe Capital."

I am interested to see if their attempt to 3-D print the entire rocket becomes successful.
