Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

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?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks 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
