Damn, they've just made the video private!
It wasn't as bad as it looked at first. I imagine the worst they got was the equivalent of some very light rain. And Rocket Lab would have known that, so kudos to them for going ahead with the stunt!
Because the video is still unavailable, I'd better elaborate.
This event has just finished. A video of it was streamed live on the official Rocket Lab channel on You Tube.
At the end, they did a ribbon cutting ceremony involving a demonstration of the water deluge system. From the video it looked like the whole posse was about to get completely wiped out! You're left wondering whether it went a little bit wrong, but I'm pretty sure it was mostly/entirely a deliberate fun little stunt by Rocket Lab.
I've got a feeling there was a least one senator present, so maybe the Sound Suppression System at LC3 should henceforth be known as the Senate Suppression System (inspired by the old "Senate Launch System" joke).
