    They pop up here soon after launch:

    They sell out quickly but the last two launches have had one re-release as the 3rd launch is now. Frequent stalking is recommended once it gets to this point.

    Good Luck!

    That Air Bus satellite yesterday used Xenon gas as it's main source of propulsion. The solar arrays harness the power, and ionize the Xenon. Hydrazine is just a redundant backup power source.

    I ordered two of the Starship torches back in November, one for me and one for a buddy. Still waiting on them to ship eventually.

    Let’s just say I’m extremely disappointed in the route New Shepard is going. Couldn’t stand some of the things they(management) tried to ignore or push.

    But I am proud to say I’ve physically built 4 rockets for the program. Putting the landing gear and integrating the forward/mid/aft together was awesome.

    Here’s a picture of me during one of the builds. My lead is focused while I’m enjoying life haha.
