No new catalyst drove the second pre-market move; RKLB was down about 5.1%, following the earlier roughly 5.6% decline, as Nasdaq futures fell sharply in a broad risk-off session. The standing driver remained broad selling in high-beta growth stocks, while Rocket Lab's NASA robotics update pointed to a late-2027 mission rather than a near-term change in the business.
