All it takes to make some delicious popsicles is a couple of rockets, some flames and a launching pad. The launching pad will hold them upright in the freezer while they set up. Nothing will ease the heat of a summer day more than a retro rocket shaped popsicle made with your favorite flavored juice.

beer-rocket

Being drunk in space—now that would be interesting (until puke is floating around the cabin that is). Unfortunately you will have to be content with this rocket-shaped beer dispenser until space tourism becomes accessible to the masses.

rocket-ship-coin-bank

This Rocket Ship Coin Bank has more uses than a Shamwow. Each coin you insert will blast the rocket off, complete with countdown, lights and sound. It will also keep track of how much you have put into it. If you choose, you can set a savings goal and the bank will let you know when you reach it. It can also be used as an alarm clock.

rocket-thermometer

When the temperature skyrockets or plummets to the Earth, this is the thermometer to have. At 3-feet tall, the rocket thermometer can be viewed easily from the temperature-controlled comfort of the indoors.

If I have a choice about how to do my star gazing, it would obviously be with a rocket. While this one will not allow you to do it from space, its 375x magnification will make you feel like you are there. And when you aren’t checking out distant planets you can slap its nose cone back on and set it upright like it is ready for launch. All you need is a countdown and a smoke machine to have the ultimate telescope.

If you are tired of all your lawn ornaments disappearing, there are really only two possibilities. One is the neighborhood kids and two is those damn Gnome Be Gones. Since there is only so much you can do with a neighbor’s child, send the Gnome Be Gone to the moon. If you still have a problem, just tell those bratty little kids that they are next.

This thing may only be 1/48 scale, but that still means it is over 7 1/2 feet tall! This is not some fragile little thing either, throw in a couple motors and you can actually launch it. If it wasn’t so damn expensive, I would send it up with no chute just to see it come crashing down. Maybe that is just a guy thing.
