June 15 - Valdemarsdag 🇩🇰
Legend says Dannebrog fell from the sky in 1219. Ours is built to go up - and come back down slowly, under parachute.
World's oldest national flag. World's only crewed amateur space program.

This day in 2018 we successfully performed the World's first human skydive test under a triple-cluster parachute with 2 stage unreefing. We'll use a similar system to recover our crewed Spica rocket booster, so this was a significant milestone. Video: bit.ly/3crzzwp⠀

Test cancelled today.
Turns out we forgot to pay this month's No-Clouds license fee, so the Gods of Angry Clouds rolled in and cast their spell over HCA Airport.
Slim chance tomorrow. If not, we'll lock in a new date soon.

GO for parachute test. Weather's clear - tomorrow we test the Valkyrie Ring Sail main again. Copenhagen Trackers rides along in case it wanders.
A parachute can wander. It cannot hide.

Parachute test Saturday in Odense. First one in a long time.
Goal: 100% rapid reusability of our astronaut™
Parachute by Valkyrie Recovery Systems, thanks!
Testing for smoother deployment - better when someone is hanging under it.
Weather permitting. Sunday is backup.

This is the work that happens before the drop test.

"Boy Scouts on steroids"
That’s how one of our guests described us - we’ll take it!
We are 100% crowdfunded and 100% volunteer-run. When you book our tour, you are stepping into a working workshop where real people are building rockets.

On this day in 1961, Alan Shepard flew 15 minutes suborbital and became the first American in space.
Blue Origin named their rocket after him. We're building ours from scratch. We're just volunteers.
Same destination. Different path.
