What 507 names will look like on the rocket

Update #20 · Apr 24, 2013 · comment

I've finally taken the the results of the surveys (how you wanted your name to appear) and updated the "Who's On Board" site. Please go here and find yourself. 

http://saturnvrelaunch.com

A number of people have been asking when the launch will be. It's looking like June at this point. This could change but I will send out an update as we get closer. Remember you can check in on my progress on the project blog.

And finally, the patches have arrived! They won't ship until the book ships but they turned out so well I wanted to share it with you (see below).

The Rocket Build Has Resumed

Update #19 · Mar 26, 2013 · comment

After much delay, the rocket is starting to rise again.

I am still shooting for a late spring/early summer launch so there will be a lot of activity on the build blog over the next few months:

STAGE ONE SHIPPED!

Update #18 · Feb 22, 2013 · 1 comment

Hello everyone,

After numerous delays, including a herniated disk for yours truly (If you're wondering, I sneezed) I was able to print and ship the 26" x 40" limited edition TRY TRY AGAIN prints this week. They turned out great.

We also sent out the remaining 11" x 17" prints and t-shirts so stage one of the rewards has shipped!

I will finally be getting back to building the rocket next week as well. You can keep up with my progress on the project tumblr:

I'm still shooting for a late spring/early summer for the launch and will let everyone know as soon as I can settle on a launch day.

Thanks again,

T-shirts and 11 x 17 TRY TRY AGAIN Prints Shipping Now

Update #17 · Dec 13, 2012 · comment

The office is filling up nicely with all manner of box, tube and shipping crate. The t-shirts came in today and look great and will ship, along with the 11" x 17" TRY TRY AGAIN prints tomorrow into early next week. (Thanks to Anna, Brian and Erik for the printing assist).

Next up is the 24" x 36" TRY TRY AGAIN posters which we will be printing in the next few days. I am still holding out hope that we can ship as promised before the holidays hit. Worse case they will leave here in early January. 

The mugs are also in and will ship at that time as well. Once all of the advance stuff is out I am looking forward to getting back to building the rocket.
