His USRockets website has been down for about a year or so.

Are you telling me that you use your email client to send an email to 01rocket@gte.net and it bounces back to you? He just emailed me the other day because he wants to buy some books from otis.


Yes, my E-mail bounced back.

I did do my homework in my search for a 1B.

If Jerry has any kits left, please have him contact me with a PM or my Email.

EMail:

dlazarus6660@yahoo.com

Thank you all for this info.

My kit came today.

My kit included a note pad to stabilize the kit in the oversized shipping box.

Thanks for the writing pad Jerry and thanks for the kit.

Now my dilemma.

Do I build the Semroc Mars Lander kit or the Semroc Saturn 1B kit?

Twenty years ago, I built both together.

Both are great kits. You can't go wrong.
I have 2 of each NIB, with 2MLs and a S1B built.

Tough call! I am working on a BMS Mars Snooper. The shrouds were not great. I removed the small, lower one, and redid it.

I started my Saturn 1B before Christmas. Then “other stuff happened”. I need to get going on it again, I want it completed in time to start painting it when weather improves.
