This is a cool rocket. does not go very high. When it is launched it spins like the real spaceship one does. The first time i launched it it parachute did not deploy, but it landed just fine. You have to pack the parachut very loosley for it to deploy. Its broken once for me, but superglue fixes it just fine. It would be great if it wasnt styrofoam

This is an estes rocket that is mostly styrofoam (not balsa wood). it is very fragile and you could probably get 4-8 good launchings out of it before it breaks. it doesn't go too far up -- which is good in my mind.

kids think the design is really cool, but they are invariably too rough with the model and it is so fragile, it breaks easily. i've had a lot of success with the parachute and find that it opens 80% of the time. When it doesn't, the plane often lands without damage.

This model rocket is Hard to put together, does not function like the real Space ship one (although I did not expect it to.), and falls apart easily. It is made of cheap plastic, cardboard, and Balsa wood. When put together it was relatively fun to launch, and watch it rise into the sky. But, you can only do it once because, even with the parchute, when it hit's the ground, the balsa wood wings snap off of the cardboard body.
