The kit is called the “Gb-LV” which stands for Gumball-Lofting
Vehicle. The highlight of the Gb-LV is its nosecone, which is a
common capsule that you will find in most gumball machines! The
advantage is that you can put a bug, a gummy bear, or some
other critter into the capsule and send it into the sky. The
capsule then returns on its own parachute while the booster
returns by a streamer. This has several fun aspects- first off you
can see into the capsule and the passenger can see out. Also, if
you lose the capsule, you can replace it by simply going to your
nearest gumball machine and dropping a coin in! Or, if you are
really daring or you just make a mistake, the capsule can land in
water and you can have a “splashdown!”

Use your Gb-LV for school science projects! You can take
insects, shoot them aloft and then study how they react to the
flight! A handy altitude prediction chart, which is included in the
kit, tells you the estimated altitude that the Gb-LV will fly on all
3 classes of rocket engines so you can use it as a part of your
project.

sky, if you try.
