The “Up Goer 5” at xkcd has brought some unexpected but welcome attention to up-ship.com/blog, and I’ve received a few messages asking about prints of the Saturn V. As many know/have noticed, I at one point sold full-color high-rez digital prints, about 6 feet long. These have not been available for a long time (A: they didn’t sell well at all, and B: the print shop where I got them done went kinda kerflooey).
The messages asking about Saturn V prints have been sorta evenly split between digital prints and cyanotype prints. As to the latter, I am *currently* limited to 12X18, due to the available print shops being limited to 12X18 transparencies. This, however, could change. But once I have those I’d have to procure large rolls of the appropriate paper (sheets are limited to 18X24), and, most importantly, build a fairly large frame with a substantial plexiglass “lid.” None of this is impossible, or even particularly difficult, just… kinda pricey. Depending on demand, a 6-foot-long cyanotype Saturn V would run from $40 to $100, I imagine. A digital print would be substantially less, $30 or so.
If you would be interested in one or the other (or, indeed, *more* than one of one or the other), please send me an email with “Saturn V print” in the subject line to:

I have my original blueprint framed and hanging on the wall, and I gotta tell ya, it’s awesome sauce.
