You can tell the Cold War is underway: the game of Space includes "32 occupation flags." But the rest of this seems . . .underwhelming: "These gleaming giant missiles are almost a 1/2 foot tall." So they're five inches. But this wins the cup for most imaginative description: "Designed to be played with in your favorite room. After the initial thrust, watch it hurdle through space actually flying over 16 miles per hour and land on its own gravi-power."

So it goes up and comes down. But you could say that about real rockets,too.
