National Geographic is taking outdoor fun to heights up to 200 feet with the motorized Power Rocket, an exciting and innovative new way for kids to experience the wonder of flight! The Power Rocket is no ordinary model rocket–with its powerful electric motor, it can launch up to 200 feet in the air! Unlike a traditional stomp rocket, the Power Rocket’s electric motor is self-powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, providing up to 20 launches on a single charge.
Evaluation comments:
“We were thrilled to finally have a cooler morning to test this rocket out. It is very important to note that a clearing is needed for this toy, and that it will get stuck in a tree if it is windy.”
“The rocket comes with a stand that it gets launched from. Once a button is pressed, you have a few seconds to back up and listen for the beeps that indicate it is going to launch. The rocket does spin pretty high up then disassembles into three parts to help it parachute back down.”
“I think this is a very nice quality toy! The rocket is made of foam that allows for easy launching. It comes with stickers that allow you to customize the foam to look way cooler. The rocket launches up pretty high.”
“The materials are simple, but the engineering behind it is high quality. The fact that it spins well while launching, then parachutes down while spinning is mesmerizing and doubly fun.”
“My kids appreciate the fact that it actually launched. They also loved chasing it as it was coming back down.”
