ITAR restricted book?
I just ordered the book, and it came with free shipping. Maybe they didn't want to figure out shipping outside the US, and so restricted sales to US addresses.

There's no way any of that content is ITAR-sensitive.
@relativityspace has been kicking renovations at Launch Complex 16 into overdrive in the past two weeks.Satellite images show large amounts of land clearing around the site in preparation to support upgrades for its Terran R rocket.
It was an honor hosting @SpaceForceCSO at our Long Beach headquarters to see firsthand our iterative approach and rapid progress on #TerranR development. 🚀
📍 Terran R, Stage 1 Test Facilities. @NASAStennis. New history in the making.✅ Stand demolition complete.➡️ Up next: Blasting & coating, stay tuned.
📍 Welcome to the Wormhole, home of #TerranR, designed and built in #SpaceBeach, Ca. Formerly housing the historic Boeing C-17 factory, now it's where you'll see Terran R exit the building.
Big LV to be shipping from long Beach. Being interesting to see logistics involved. Shouldn't need to ship too many boosters but will require US for each launch until reuseable one is operational.

Transport and reinstall on the stand, ready for test. 🔥
Injector swap.
TCA removal --> TCA arrival at the shop still *frosty*.❄️
Our engine test team at @NASAStennis is looking more like a Formula 1 pit crew these days, moving with remarkable speed and precision. 👇In < than 4hrs, the crew seamlessly transitioned from a thrust chamber assembly (TCA) hot fire, to removing the TCA, swapping an injector, and mounting it back onto the stand for test.
