In the span of 8 days: ESCAPADE Launch, Booster Landing, Booster Return, Super Heavy Lift New Glenn announcement, Cislunar Transporter aerobrake video, Blue Ring integration, and now MK1 Flight Hardware image. Best comms week in Blue Origin history.
The Blue Moon MK1 flight vehicle that will land near Shackleton crater. We’ll soon be doing fully integrated checkout tests. At over 26 feet tall (8 meters), it’s smaller than our MK2 human lander but larger than the historic Apollo lander.
