Well Falcon Eye 1 was 700M$ euros, Taranis and Ingenio must have been quite expensive too. Doesn't compare to the mass-produced BlackSky sats.
I wonder what these 2 (apparently) failures in 10 months mean for @RocketLab. This is pretty much in the same situation as (indirect competitor) Vega, which is limping in the market.
Maybe the less cost of payload & lack of direct competitor (yet) will lessen the impact, but...

Falcon Eye was $400mio, the other too some $300mio-ish. So the combined loss of the two launches was $700mio. Still really bad.

They can legitimately claim they are dealing with new technology. The cause is likely not two mixed up wires. (However. It seemed like an explosion on the first stage after separation to me. Would be a bad look if this was caused by the reuseability modifications...)

First stage looked fine to me. Seemed like stage 2 TVC locked into an extreme position and immediately spun the stage, making stage 1 rotate out of view so quickly.
