Rocket Lab will try helicopter catch again, but it may take months

Rocket Lab this week made an ostentatious attempt to catch a rocket as it fell from space using a hook-wielding helicopter that snagged the rocket mid-air only for the pilots to intentionally drop it moments later because of safety concerns. The display is all part of the company's plan to eventually re-use its rocket boosters, saving time and money. But it may be months before the company will make another attempt.
