I've just become responsible for the 20 questions section in Boating New Zealand magazine.
The magazine is available from retailers, by subscription and on-line. Keep a look out for the questions and let me know if there are any topics you'd like to see covered. I've been sworn to secrecy about the answers so unless the bribe is big enough, you'll just have to turn the magazine upside down to find out whether you are right or not.

Rocket Lab's Peter Beck won the Innovator of the Year 2015 award for excellence in science and technology at the New Zealander of the Year awards ceremony in Auckland last night. 

Coming up in the February/March edition of The Shed magazine is an article I've written on Peter Beck, founder of Rocket Lab. 
Rocket Lab is planning to launch a 100kg satellite into low earth orbit sometime at the end of 2015. They eventually aim to launch 50 satellites a year from New Zealand at $US5 million a time. Is he an extraordinarily talented visionary, a mad scientist or just someone who has managed to get the government to pay for a very expensive firework?
