Omitted information on Blue Origin landing number 3

not that many people are talking much about what Blue Origin is doing with their New Shepard vehicle, but I was looking around and found this blurb on their site: New Shepard flew again on April 2, 2016 reaching an apogee of 339,178 feet or 103 kilometers.

Re: My first skill level five rocket

It's a close match, but not quite the same piece. I think only the wonks who would argue over a particular fin pattern on another forum would have a problem with someone using it on a clone though.

There are still some people around running XP, (myself included up till this weekend), so it's not beyond the realm of possibi...
