Attention parents everywhere! Save the money you would otherwise spend on toys and give your child a large card board box. They will entertain themselves for hours. I remember using a big box to make a “space ship” when I was a kid. I still have it and use it to store Christmas ornaments. I smile to myself every year when I unpack and repack it. Ah, childhood!!
In one of our houses, our closets had a separte storage area above the walk-in closet. It made a wonderful space ship and was at the ceiling (on top of the booster rocket). small and cramped like the real ones in the late 60’s
It looks like a Redstone Rocket, like the one that carried Alan Shepard into space on his sub-orbital flight.The Atlas D was used to carry John Glenn, in Friendship 7, into orbit.
Follow the adventures of 10-year-old Red, a boy who dreams of going to space and loves baseball, and his dog Rover, a loyal friend and chaser of squirrels.
Whether flying through space, bouncing on the moon, fishing, waiting for Popsicle Pete, or delivering the paper, these two friends do everything together.

Good rendition of the Titan II missile. Those were the days! Mercury/Atlas – Gemini/Titan – Apollo/Saturn

Thank goodness we’ve rejected the gods of the ancients.
