Humor, or an admission of their problems?
10You can buy your own scale model of Blue Origin’s New Glenn orbital rocket (which they hope to build someday) for only $450.

It does NOT come with any BE-4 first stage engines.

It it was a whole lot cheaper, and could be removed from the base and fitted with an Estes model rocket engine for scale flights, it would be fun to get several and create some appropriate YooToobe vids using them.
@werehatrack It’s such a simple shape, it could easily be built from scratch. If I cared enough.
@blaineg
For that matter, I’ve probably got enough components laying around to build the flying version myself, minus the deployable legs.
Does it come with accompanying scale-model-sized PowerPoint presentations and lawsuits?
Meh needs to acquire one and paint it up as New Glen…
but does it vibrate?
@stolicat only at lift-off.
I want a tiny Bill Shatner to ride in it. TBH I’d much rather have a SpaceX “Starship”
@sicc574 You only new a New Shepard to launch Shatner.
Blue Origin has yet to build the orbit capable New Glenn, or even deliver a functional BE-4 engine.
That’s sad, they once looked like a viable competitor to SpaceX.
