Remote Control Rocket

Young space enthusiasts will love this rocket launcher kit that includes a two-piece rocket, launch pad, and remote control launcher. The rocket is fueled by the classic combination of baking soda and vinegar, but then the launch is literally in kids' hands. Count down from 10, press the ignition on the rocket launcher, and watch the rocket head straight for the stars. Author Paul Beck creates a timeline to help intrepid space travelers prepare for a flight to Mars, including information about rockets, space suits, and zero gravity in this light-hearted, but info- and photo-packed book.
