In 1961, Alan Shepard made history as the first American in space. A decade later he walked on the Moon and pushed the frontiers of space exploration so that today we can reach the planets beyond. It's a dream he shares with Blue Origin, and it's with that legacy in mind that the New Shepard rocket came to be. Estes is proud to partner with Blue Origin. We are providing a piece of history that inspires kids to dream of a future filled with the wonders of space exploration. While Blue Origin is creating the road to space, Estes rockets give a child the dreams that drive them to carve new paths. The detail on this rocket is so meticulous that even Blue Origin uses this as their desktop model!
