I'm torn. On the one hand, I'm a sucker for all things space. On the other hand, why does it have to be 1:160 and not the same 1:110 scale as the Saturn V which has become the de facto standard for rocket MOCs? Putting that next to all my other rockets will look really weird.

Where did you get that it's 1:160 scale? I couldn't find that anywhere in any of the articles I saw

From the body text.

I think at the point where we're talking about adults spending 260 bucks on rockets made out of plastic bricks, everything is a first world problem.

Summoning my father's voice:

"$260 and YOU have to put it together? What a racket."

I don't like the vibe with it sitting on top of the Titanic. 🫣
