Submitted for your approval, |
Jay,
Thanks for sharing this. Quite an interesting article. I only had a few Centuri rockets (Laser X, KC-6 Space Shuttle, U.S.S. America, and Space 1999 Eagle Transporter) and their Powr Pad launcher when I was a kid. Even tough I had mostly Estes rockets, they were special to me then and now. I'm currently in the process of refurbishing an original Centuri Recruiter.
Here's a link to an online historical Centuri display I found and want to share for the Smithsonian:
