Okay, this is a little awkward.
Estes, which sells models rocket engines, parts, and accessories, now has a new product for sale: A replica of Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. This rocket was the one that took Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos into space (via Gizmodo).
This means you can now get a smaller (1/66) version of the rocket that launched thousands of memes onto your desk. It costs $69.99.
For $109.99, you can also get a more luxurious package. This includes the New Shepard model rocket as well as a launchpad, launch controller, Estes' C5-3 engine packs, recovery wadding, and a pack. These accessories allow you to launch your little phallic rocket up to 400 feet in height. It will also deploy a small parachutist to ensure it doesn't fall on the way down.

You won't find a model of Sir Richard Branson's rocket on Estes' website if you prefer him as a spacefaring billionaire. Branson fans, it's not easy.
Pre-orders are currently open for the Blue Origin model rocket. It will be available widely in November 2021. It is available here.
