A small replica of Jeff Bezos’ penis-shaped rocket can be yours for $69
Ok, this is slightly awkward.
Estes, a company that sells model rocket engines, kits and accessories, has a new item for sale: a replica of Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket, the very same one that took Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos to space (via Gizmodo).
Yes, that means that you can now have a small (1/66 in size) version of the dick-shaped rocket that launched a thousand memes on your desk. The price is also notable: $69.99.

A more luxurious package is also available for $109.99, and it includes the New Shepard model rocket, a launch pad, a launch controller, a pack of Estes' C5-3 engines, and a pack of recovery wadding. With these accessories, you can launch your little phallic rocket to an altitude of up to 400 feet, and it will deploy a small parachute so it doesn't break on the way down.
Unfortunately, if you prefer the other spacefaring billionaire, Sir Richard Branson, who flew a little lower a little earlier than Bezos, you won't be able to find a model of his rocket on Estes' website. Tough luck, Branson fans.
The Blue Origin model rocket is currently available for pre-order, and it will be widely available in November 2021. You can get it here.
