Wow. Approximately 312 grams. Is that realistic?

I am thinking maybe 3 x D12s or an AP motor. Ok maybe 5 x D12s. "All engines running ..."

Previous releases were already very simple on the inside. I wonder how it could be improved for easier assembly and I sure wonder how they plan to make the recovery more realistic without letting everything but the command module come in ballistic.

Is it a loose copy of the level 2.5 2157 kit or more like the level 4 2001 kit?

Cost?

Intel came from where / who?
