🚀 Stomp, Launch, and Explore the Universe!
The Stomp Rocket Space Collection features three soft foam air-powered rockets: SLS Rocket, Saturn V Rocket, and Space Shuttle Atlantis. Designed for children aged 5 and up, this STEM-focused toy encourages active play and learning about gravity and force. With an adjustable launcher, kids can send rockets soaring up to 30 meters (100 feet) high, all without the need for batteries or complicated assembly.

Obsessed
I bought this months ago and it is still a toy my sons regularly plays with. It’s amazing for incorporating movement into your child’s every day play. Perfect for the little ones that love doce themed toys too! And the quality is amazing, it’s still in great shape after months of use!

Awesome purchase!
Bought for my grandson turning 5. Such a hit! Great for indoors and out. Shuttles, rockets are soft durable foam and indoors makes safety and prevents damage to walls and ceiling. One of his favorite toys! Would purchase again.

Fun
Kids love it. We've had it for months and they still pull it out regularly to play

If this were half the price it would be worth it
This set feels incredibly flimsy and fragile, which for a children's toy is not a great combination. My 4 year old did have a great time with it outside, but the launcher does not send the rockets up that high and after a few crashes onto the ground, the wings of one of the launchers is already bent. This doesn't feel like it will last a long time, but I suppose for the right kid, one interested in space and planes, it would be a good purchase.

Lots of fun and educational, but needs careful supervision.
This set was a huge hit with my five-year-old son and his cousin. Everything arrived in good condition and the set comes with three different kinds of rockets. They each imitate a different sort of NASA vehicle visually, but they also are each designed for different flight behavior. It's fun to experiment with them and discover the flight path for each. The black-and-white rocket goes in a straight line, the orange rocket does kind of a U shape. And the space shuttle does almost a full circle and then glides slowly to the ground.I appreciate the STEM learning aspects where you can see the flight behavior change based on changes to the launch angle and stomp intensity, as well as wind direction. You can begin to try to predict where the rockets will go and land.The 5-year-old kids enjoyed setting up and launching the rockets, though they weren't quite able to provide a full stomp's worth of pressure, so much of the time they would commission an adult to do the stomping. We found that the stomp requires a bit more pressure when you have the launcher on the grass, vs on a hard surface like a deck or concrete. However you're supposed to use it far away from houses and trees, so often the grass is the best location.That is the main difficulty with this set, or perhaps with stomp rockets in general, is you really need a lot of space (which is clearly warned in the instructions as well). We had a good-sized suburban yard, but still had to be continually cautious not to launch into a tree, rooftop, or fenced-in neighbor's yard. The two rockets that curve aren't as risky, however the rocket that goes straight ahead is hard to control unless you shoot it straight up. That rocket got caught in a tree on our first day, and then unfortunately ended up on the roof a few days later.A heightened difficulty with this particular NASA set is that since each rocket is unique, if you do lose or damage one, you lose a unique feature (compared to some of the cheaper sets that might have 3-4 identical rockets). STOMP Rockets company does offer refill packs of their basic rockets (about 3 rockets for $10), but doesn't yet sell replacements for these NASA rockets.I also noticed that after about a week of use by young kids, the foam of the one of the rockets was getting some wear and tear from insertion on the tube. The foam rockets are pretty delicate and wouldn't handle getting stepped on or left outside for long. Given the cost, and difficulty to get refills, I'd recommend adult supervision to help these last long enough.So overall, this is a really fun set, but I do have some concerns about the longevity given the cost.
