Luna -7
This is a flying model rocket kit of the Russian R-7 Luna vehicle.
Although it is made and sold in the USA, it’s the one for you if you
are longing for those good old days of the Cold War. Those thrilling
days of the late 1950s and very early 1960s when the Soviets were
able to fly space missions, apparently as easily as catching a bus,
while the US rockets remained rooted to the ground like oak trees…
(sort of like the last couple of years)... this kit will make you want to
wear drab itchy woolen clothing, join the army to play hockey, drink
vodka and stand in long lines for toilet paper. The kit stands ~ 12
inches tall when completed- unless you are looking to use it for
propaganda purposes to enhance your personal standing in the world
view- then you place it close to the camera lens while you stand back
300 feet behind it- and it appears life size. The kit uses 18 mm B or
C s in the business end and requires average skill to build- until after
you’ve finished it- then you tell everyone that it was the combined
skill set that was given to you by the socialist party that allowed you
to make this glorious creation which will now send a probe to the
moon. This too will enhance your standing in the world view- because
most people walking the planet now as just as gullible as the ones
who walked the earth during the days of the Cold War. So buy it,
build it and enhance your stature in world opinion It’s either that of
fade away and become a non-person. Anyhow- buy it and remember
what the Russians learned that the Americans forgot… when you’ve
got a reliable workhorse booster… stick with it! For those of you
who don’t understand that- the basic R-7 booster that lofted Sputnik,
Luna and Vostok- today sends people to the International Space
Station aboard the Soyuz, while we in the US can’t even build a
Saturn IB anymore.
