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.

Maybe some dried petals of a local flower?

Organics by themselves aren't a deal breaker, and dried petals could work well. One of the main concerns (but not the only) is that an animal ends up in the experiment, and therefore the rocket, because that's a big no-no. Petals are thin, and difficult to hide in. I'll put that on the list of things to maybe send up.

tiny mineral collection

Seems cool in principle, but I'd fear that vibration + tiny rocks could wreck havoc. Maybe if I epoxy the rocks in place? But even then.

ROM of Super Mario Bros for NES

No can do

I'm suggesting a few things and seeing if you like anything

You can keep 'em coming, I'll probably only start winding down the additions in like mid-June (or maybe July?).
