My son and I used to launch model rockets when he was in pre-school.
As far as I can tell, Bezos & Co have launched a seriously large version of that Estes rocket, great fun!
But several orders of magnitude less difficult than going into orbit. I guess you can also work it out by the ticket price...about $US250,000 to go on a New Shepard ride. But you can also book a few nights on the IIS for a paltry $US55million.
Now...where did I store that model rocket kit??
