Jeff Bezos set off for the atmosphere aboard his space company Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket: on the occasion of the launch, a model of the rocket made by Estes, a company specializing in the construction of this kind of model. The device is fully functional and even equipped with a parachute for landing, but closely resembles other types of “missiles”.
Despite the rocket’s unusual shape to say the least, which could lead you to mistake this model for something else, the Estes version of New Shepard presents itself as a must have for all lovers of space modeling. Not only is this miniature a faithful representation of its original counterpart, it is also fully functional.
The Estes model of New Shepard Blue Origin is in fact able to take off just like a real rocket and is even equipped with a small parachute that automatically activates in midair to ensure a soft and comfortable landing. The model costs 69,99 $ in its basic version, but can also be purchased through the complete package a 109,99 $, which includes the launch pad, the controller to control the trajectory of the launch and the motors to reach higher altitudes.
“Estes is proud to have partnered with Blue Origin – reads the official site of the company – together we can offer a piece of history that can inspire kids to dream and imagine. The ready-to-fly model of the New Shepard is a perfect addition to your office shelf, or to recreate the flight of the rocket for yourself. “
It must be said that the shape of the rocket leaves room for many misunderstandings and keeping one at home, perhaps well displayed on a shelf, could attract more than a bewildered look. The reason is obviously easy to say: New Shepard has repeatedly been the subject of sardonic comments that compared him in features to a male genital organ. and the model is just the right size to easily mistake for a sex toy.
