Looks better than the V1.0 they gave us.

Nice! Where can I get one?  ;D

(too bad all the models aren't to scale, though... but it is an impressive lineup!)

Do the landing legs work? :)

From The Amazing Catstronaut on the Black Arrow LV:
British physics, old chap. It's undignified to belch flames and effluvia all over the pad, what. A true gentlemen's orbital conveyance lifts itself into the air unostentatiously, with the minimum of spectacle and a modicum of grace. Not like our American cousins' launch vehicles, eh?

I wish they still let me play with the *real* toys. I miss working hands-on with flight hardware. Consoles, launch teams, data reviews, reports and presentations are good for a bit, but I miss using real tools!

Here's the full lineup. Conspicuous by its absence is Taurus XL. Not sure where that big Pegasus came from....just kinda showed up.

Is the thread title serious?   ???

Do you believe SpaceX invoiced the government for a lobby model of one of their launch vehicles?


Re arguments from authority on NSF:  "no one is exempt from error, and errors of authority are usually the worst kind.  Taking your word for things without question is no different than a bracket design not being tested because the designer was an old hand."
"You would actually save yourself time and effort if you were to use evidence and logic to make your points instead of wrapping yourself in the royal mantle of authority.  The approach only works on sheep, not inquisitive, intelligent people."

I've always wondered why their concept visuals never match with the real deal.... they've always had those black interstages on concepts, but only ever flown them on Falcon 1.

Why do you think "us" is the government?

Makes much more sense to be the organisation that he works for.

Well, hints at the back imply this is related to NASA's Launch Services Program so...
