In 1961, Alan Shepard made history as the first American in space. A decade later he walked on the Moon and pushed the frontiers of space exploration so that today we can reach the planets beyond. It's a dream he shares with Blue Origin, and it's with that legacy in mind that the New Shepard rocket came to be. Estes has proudly partnered with Blue Origin to provide a piece of history that inspires kids to dream of a future filled with the wonders of space exploration. While Blue Origin is creating the road to space, Estes rockets give a child the dreams that drive them to carve new paths. The details on this rocket are so meticulous that even Blue Origin uses this as their desktop model!
Estes Porta-Pad II Launch Pad (88748), E Launch Controller (88749) and C6-3 Model Rocket Engines are required to launch your rocket and are sold separately.
