Create and decorate your very own rocket that you can carry in your hand. 

A rocket only takes eight minutes to accelerate to a speed of 24,000km per hour, but you don’t need to leave the planet to play with rocket acceleration thanks to this make-it-yourself activity. 

Powered by an elastic band and complete with fins and windows, your cup rocket will fly into the air in the blink of an eye. 

Don’t forget to draw a brave astronaut in the window!
