If anyone else has something they want me to send up, reply with it.

The launch got pushed back a little, so I've got a fair amount of time to add what you want (the "real" payloads basically done already). Launches are basically never on time, lol.

If anyone wants proof, I'm perfectly willing to DM some Blue Origin stuff that shouldn't be public (it probably shouldn't dox me). I'll be responsive for the next day or two, then probably again in a few weeks.

How did you end up getting the payload in the first place, if I may ask?

[–] spaceman@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

Anyone can just pay Blue Origin (or SpaceX or whoever) for space on their rockets. I didn't pay for it personally, of course, but when the stuff that payload was bought for was built, there was spare mass, volume, and time, so I got pretty broad discretion to do whatever I want, provided it's all within the guidelines and outside of the 9-5.

tl;dr: engineer at cool place
