If this is a lander what will they use to deliver the lander to lunar orbit? I'll admit I don't follow this sort of news very closely, but it seems quite exciting.

- Rebelgecko 7y agoPresumably their New Glenn rocket
- zeristor 7y agoThey've got New Armstrong pencilled in after New Glenn for taking people to the Moon. I suppose after that would be New Sagan
- avmich 7y agoNew Glenn is quite heavy to carry some payloads to LEO which can later fl to the Moon. I'd perhaps have New Young after New Armstrong.
- yellowapple 7y agoWould New Sagan be the Amazon-sponsored lightsail-powered generation ship to Alpha Centauri?
- zeristor 7y agoAmazon Centauri, its been renamed as part of a sponsorship deal
- kermitismyhero 7y ago>I suppose after that would be New Sagan Oh, I don't know. Sounds like that sort of rocket would cost billions and billions of dollars.
- mlindner 7y agoThey'll launch this paper lander on their paper rocket (New Glenn). Nothing exciting here because there's no hardware being built yet.
- DennisP 7y agoConsidering they plan to fire the engine this summer, they seem to be building something.

They also have gigantic production facility that is already built in Florida. Do you think its just an empty warehouse?
