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.

[mlindner]

They'll launch this paper lander on their paper rocket (New Glenn). Nothing exciting here because there's no hardware being built yet.

First new staged rocket engine developed in the US since the Space Shuttle (or at least at the same time with the SpaceX Raptor).

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

[DennisP]

Considering they plan to fire the engine this summer, they seem to be building something.

Presumably their New Glenn rocket

They've got New Armstrong pencilled in after New Glenn for taking people to the Moon.

I suppose after that would be New Sagan

>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.

[avmich]

New 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.

Would New Sagan be the Amazon-sponsored lightsail-powered generation ship to Alpha Centauri?

Amazon Centauri, its been renamed as part of a sponsorship deal
