Things I’ll be sending up:

printed small FALGSC flag

hexbear logo, possibly physical

mack the knife poem by Bertolt Brecht

usernames: oscardejarjayes, cosecantphi, isame, Coolkidbozzy, MikeyChaz, WellTheresYourCobbler

If anyone else has something they want me to send up, reply with it.

The launch got pushed back a little, so I’ve got a fair amount of time to add what you want (the “real” payloads basically done already). Launches are basically never on time, lol.

If anyone wants proof, I’m perfectly willing to DM some Blue Origin stuff that shouldn’t be public (it probably shouldn’t dox me). I’ll be responsive for the next day or two, then probably again in a few weeks.

    Maybe some dried petals of a local flower? I know you suggested no organic matter but isn’t it very similar to just paper?

    A really cool thing would be a tiny mineral collection, imagine sand-speck-sized samples of different minerals.

    ROM of Super Mario Bros for NES?

    Not asking for all of that, just I think it’s really cool and I’m suggesting a few things and seeing if you like anything

      Organics by themselves aren’t a deal breaker, and dried petals could work well. One of the main concerns (but not the only) is that an animal ends up in the experiment, and therefore the rocket, because that’s a big no-no. Petals are thin, and difficult to hide in. I’ll put that on the list of things to maybe send up.

      tiny mineral collection

      Seems cool in principle, but I’d fear that vibration + tiny rocks could wreck havoc. Maybe if I epoxy the rocks in place? But even then.

      ROM of Super Mario Bros for NES

      No can do

      You can keep 'em coming, I’ll probably only start winding down the additions in like mid-June (or maybe July?).
