They'll launch this paper lander on their paper rocket (New Glenn). Nothing exciting here because there's no hardware being built yet.

First new staged rocket engine developed in the US since the Space Shuttle (or at least at the same time with the SpaceX Raptor).

They also have gigantic production facility that is already built in Florida. Do you think its just an empty warehouse?

Considering they plan to fire the engine this summer, they seem to be building something.
