If someone can post any BO tweets/updates here that would be much appreciated 🙏
I don’t think we have any yet tho
T-1 hour
No updates, but stream start time is still the same so it’s on track

I don't have much interest in NS but let's make this the dedicated New Shepard thread (since SS2-Delta isn't even guaranteed to exist anyway we need just one for tourist hops)
kindred sequoia
I like that idea
The app lists Tail 5 as flying today but its tail 4
They just said that in stream
They need to fix this stream
My god

Isn't it the new booster with the new livery?
Or did they repaint the old one?
kindred sequoia
Isn't it the new booster with the new livery?
No
They said it’s the old system
The 4th one

The livery is NS4's

BTW is this the first New Shepard flight ever to have NO holds during the webcast?
kindred sequoia
That I can remember yeah
They did pretty good today
Did they share anything new about New Glenn today that I missed?

@mint osprey Do you agree? If so you can change the title

Man I always feel like such a creep looking up crew info for NS or VG flights because it's almost never just readily available on Wikipedia
Because for my list I (preferably) need their full name, birth date, and birthplace

I actually forgor we had a single thread for NS launches
Wonder if it's Tail 5 w/ its first crew or Tail-4 again
kindred sequoia
So NS-29 has a window till 5:30 PM CST, I almost want it to delay that long so we get sunset launch
It won’t but it’d be cool
keen shard
so what's on this one?
tidal spoke
We don't know yet
Although I don't think they have announced a crew yet, which they usually do in advance
So I suspect its a payload flight
keen shard
oh
topaz flicker
Yeah I bet this is payload
For crew flights they say the crew ahead of time even before notices come out

The New Shepard crew capsule is using its Reaction Control System (RCS) to spin up to approximately 11 revolutions per minute. This spin rate simulates one-sixth Earth gravity at the midpoint of the crew capsule lockers. In simulated lunar gravity, customers can accelerate their learning and technology readiness for lunar payloads at much lower cost. Previously, the Moon’s gravity could only be simulated a few seconds at a time via centrifuge drop tower or for ~20 seconds aboard parabolic flights.
Tail 5

where did you get tail 5 from that

This mission will fly our dedicated payloads capsule paired with our recently-debuted booster, demonstrating the compatibility between the boosters and capsules in our fleet and increasing launch availability for our customers.

They’re demonstrating they can just swap stuff out as needed

BO is so good at making patches god damn
They're like on the same level as Chinese patches
Did we ever learn something about the crew capsules having serial numbers?
I vaguely recall a conversation about that...
fallow tree
they kinda do
the propulsion modules are "tails". Tail 4 and 5 are the only active ones at the moment (Tail 1 was lost in NS-1, Tail 2 I think was retired, and Tail 3 was lost in NS-23)
not sure what the capsules are called, but now they have I think capsules 3, 4 and 5 (3 is cargo only and planned for NS-29, capsules 1 and 2 were demos, 4 flew NS-16 with Bezos and all their other crew flights, and 5 is planned to fly crew in the future)
before they married tails and capsules so they flew together, NS-29 is showing they can mix and match (probably partially motivated by losing tail 3 but wanting to use the capsule that flew with it)

Capsule 3 is RSS H. G. Wells
Capsule 4 is RSS First Step
Capsule 5 is RSS Kármán Line
The original retired one is RSS Jules Verne
IIRC the 3 active ones are Crew Capsule 2.0-1 to 3, but don't quote me on that

Yes GS1-SN001 *So You're Telling Me There's a Chance*
I would make fun of the SN having three digits but F9 isn't far away from B1100 so
(and probably consistency with the expendable S2s)
