@blueorigin Looks like the tried and true "split-chamber" design for DMLS printing. Chamber barrel and throat section are printed separately and bolted or welded together. Most common metal printers today can't do taller than 12-15" vertically.

[Everyday Astronaut @Erdayastronaut]

This is Blue Moon! @blueorigin has been working on this for THREE years! 3.6 metric tones to the surface. Eventually 6.5 tones to the surface.

[Jeff Foust @jeff_foust]

Yes, it’s a lunar lander.
