Brief:
T' Meteor is 1.5 liter bottle with three fins and a nose cone. Ahoy! Avast, me proud beauty! It launched with vinegar and bakin' powder t' a hundred feet. Ahoy! It is meant for little kids who want rockets with out explosives.

Construction:
T' rocket is made form a 1.5 liter bottle, me hearties, shiver me timbers, a sheet o' balsa wood, silver shiny tape, shiver me timbers, me hearties, foam tape, me bucko, shiver me timbers, a transparent red paper and a plastic nose cone. Ahoy! Begad! T' rocket is launched with two rubber stoppers, a big screw, me bucko, me bucko, a plastic tube, and a bolt. Every thin' I listed comes with t' kit!

First you trace and cut out t' fins from a sheet o' balsa wood. Begad! Arrr! Blimey! Then you cover t' fins with this shiny silver paper they give t' t' make it look nice. T' you glue t' fins on t' t' pop bottle and reinforce it with t' extra shiny paper. Ya scallywag! Blimey! Next you tape a red transparent piece o' plastic on t' t' top of the pop bottle t' hold on t' nose cone. T' instructions were clear on how to make t' Meteor, shiver me timbers, but were too long. Ya scallywag! Ya scallywag! Blimey! Withe t' materials that t' rocket are make form, matey, I don't think it be worth t' $20 that I bought it for.

Finishing:
There really be nay finishin' t' do because t' body is transparent. Begad! Arrr! Blimey! It still looks neat though.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
T' flight o' this rocket be very interesting. First you put about a cup of vinegar into t' pop bottle. Arrr! Blimey! T' you stick t' plastic tube on t' t' rubber stopper and fill it up with as much bakin' powder as you want. Ahoy! Arrr! Blimey! Then you put the rubber stopper with t' bakin' powder into t' bottle (the rubber stopper stops at t' openin' o' t' bottle while t' tube o' bakin' powder goes inside the bottle). Avast, me proud beauty! Then you turn t' rocket upside down and start shakin' it so the chemicals mix. You then turn it right side up and put it on t' ground. Begad! Poof up into t' air about 100 feet then fall back t' earth. Begad! Begad! Blimey! That is what is supposed to happen on a normal flight, matey, which never happened for me. Avast, me proud beauty! Begad! Blimey! When I would mix up the chemicals, ya bilge rat, would explode in me hands and get me soakin' wet. Begad! That happened 3 times. Ahoy! Blimey! But out o' all t' failures, me hearties, I did get it t' work once by lettin' it launch in me hand. Ahoy! Blimey! T' rocket is nay propelled by t' liquids, me bucko, as it looks like in t' picture, shiver me timbers, but by t' gasses in which it produces. Arrr! It be kind o' neat to see a rocket propelled by somethin' you could nay see.

Recovery:
T' recover is nay original, shiver me timbers, once it is up in t' air, it just falls back to earth with no recovery systems. Well, blow me down! It doesn't need any anyway because all it is is a pop bottle.

Flight Rating: 2 out o' 5

Summary:
If you want a present for a kid that is a rocket and can nay hurt you or start a fire and gets you wet, this is what you are lookin' for. Well, blow me down! Personally, shiver me timbers, I probably would nay recommend it t' anyone though.
