Vulcan and New Glenn overlap probably also not ideal, though. Having not read the article yet, Sierra Space is the most exciting name I’ve seen. Sure hope they can afford it, though.

Yeah, those were my thoughts too. A company known for just Dream Chaser and inflatable modules (neither of which have launched yet) is thinking of buying an entire launch company? It would be cool if they do, but I'm curious where they would get the money.

Vulcan and New Glenn probably overlap more than Vulcan and Neutron, but it still seems out of character for Rocket Lab. I guess I don't fault them for kicking the tires.
