Enjoy hours of fun with this classic build-your-own kit, complete with
rocket body, detonator, press-out parts, groovy design decals, and a
full-color instruction book.
Well before Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon, people have been
fascinated with space--whether it's the movements of the moon, sun,
stars, and planets or the possibilities of what (or who!) they
contain--incorporating celestial objects into their mythologies and art.
No longer the stuff of science fiction, space (and space travel)
continues to challenge our curiosity and our imagination to this day.
But even with the advent of private missions to "zero gravity" and
travel to Mars a distant possibility, being an astronaut is still out of
reach for most of us. So if you've ever had dreams of building your
own rocket, here's your chance.
The all-in-one Build Your Own Rocket kit is exciting to build, whether
on your own or with your family, and will lift off flight after flight.
Included in this kit is an easy-to-follow instruction manual for
putting together not only the rocket body and boosters, nose cones, and
fins, but also the launcher and detonator. Learn why these parts are
important and also what helps propel them through the air. Also in the
manual are safety tips, hints for streamlining the building
process, suggestions for personalizing the rocket with the
included design decals, and just a bit of moon mythology.
Inside, you will find:
- 16-page illustrated instruction book with easy-to-follow assembly
directions along with space and rocket facts
- Press-out templates for rocket boosters, nose cones, fins, and more
- Rocket body tube
- Foam nose cone and tube
- Launcher base and detonator
- Rubber hoses and bicycle-pump-nozzle adapter
- Design decals to personalize your rocket before lift off
This kit is perfect for anyone who has ever dreamed of joining NASA,
enjoys tinkering with projects, or just likes to have a good time
outdoors. While your rocket won't go to the moon, you can take it
wherever you go and experiment with different types of wind. How far
will it go? The sky's the limit!
