Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle

So my mom

bought me the very first model rocket that she bought for me was a Mercury Redstone rocket.

And she helped me put it together.

She also helped me put together a space shuttle, a model rocket.

Now, like, there's suborbital crew, that's a different thing.

But I'm saying, like, we didn't keep doing, you know, Mercury-Redstone flights once we had Mercury-Atlas, and said we ceded suborbital s- flight.

That's, I feel like that's the same thing we're talking about here.

We've ceded LEO, yeah, because we're going to build a Moon base.

Dude, I totally...

Actually, I had Mercury Redstone.

Yeah, 'cause it's dumb.

Oh.
