Description
"Blast Off to the Moon" is an advertisement from the 1969 Sears Christmas Book for a water propelled rocket.
The advertisement, directed toward adult Christmas shoppers, encourages parents to buy this water propelled model Apollo rocket with lunar module and two stage Gemini rocket for their children for only $7.99.
With this toy, children can simulate space exploration. By putting water into the mission control and pumping till the pressure gauges reads full, children can send the rocket on its mission to "space" with a remote control. The Apollo rocket flies up to 150 feet into the air before separating and then going 150 more feet higher. The Gemini rocket goes up 200 hundred feet into the air before the capsule separates and floats back to the ground.
