Estes announces Model Rocket to carry Sea Monkeys

Mark Frauenfelder 2:33 pm Mon Jun 27, 2005

While reading a copy of my new book, The World's Worst, Stefan Jones came across my item about Sea Monkey inventor Harold von Braunhut, who I described in my book as the "World's Creepiest Toy Maker."

Stefan says: "Estes, the model rocket manufacturer, has announced the 'Simian Space Transport' kit, a rocket with a water-tight aquarium payload section for launching . . . Sea Monkeys."

A new kit announced by Estes! Prototype rocket was shown at 2005 Las Vegas NRHSA Hobby Show, and should be released in late September of this year. The design is a payload rocket powered by an B/C engine. The unique payload section can be sealed to make an flying aquarium for the included payload of sea monkeys.
