I don't think I have ever flown a model rocket in my life and I'm glad I waited, because the technology has definitely improved with the cool new Estes Astrovision - Digital Video Rocket. This unique ready to fly model rocket has a built-in impact-resistant digital camera in the nose cone pointed towards Earth that can record 12 seconds of video at 640 x 480 pixel resolution or take three still pictures during flight from as high as 500 feet. After a successful flight, the video can then be dowloaded straight to your computer with the included USB cable. You'll definitely be seeing a ton of these videos on YouTube in the near future.

I have to say this totally reminds me of when I was young. You know the time in grade school when we had to make a rocket and set it off in front of everyone? I was totally fascinated with rockets and so will your child. This AMAZING Estes Astrovision Digital Video Rocket is unlike anything you'll find. Not only is it ready to fly it also has a digital camera inside the tip of the rocket that will take pictures as it shoot into the sky. What a great way to learn about our earth and get some amazing pictures as well. (via TheGreenHead)
