I hear sometime later in the year 2020 Estes may offer a version of their own Saturn 1B. I have spoken to lots of folks that for whatever reason prefer the Semroc version. I have them. At least for another year.

I get lots of really nice thank you notes on this one. People love the kit.

Just Jerry

Quick update. I still have plenty of Semroc Saturn 1B's and I re-estimate I will have them for a year or so still unless there is a sudden rash of 4 kit orders. I also wanted to share a note from today.

$129.95 + $12 ship. Paypal is info@usrockets.com. Friends and family has no fees. You can pay after receipt if you want. It is packed and ready to ship. CA is in lockdown so I am guessing it will ship by USPS in the next 2 days. We normally use Fedex Ground, but the Feds are in charge now.

Thanks! I sincerely hope I have made your life a tiny bit nicer by having it.

Jerry

I am not going to post what he said, but let's just say thank you.
