This is the original Zorp product. Before the archer, or glider, or saber, there was this rocket. The idea here is that the thin mylar isn't filled like a balloon but rather is left empty and you blow into a tube filling the rocket with air and then releasing it just as the pressure has built, thus propelling it far and fast. The science makes a lot of sense, the rocket weighs almost nothing, with a significant portion of the almost no weight being a tiny foam weight in the tip. Thus when the pressure from a childs lungs expelled fills and pressurizes the rocket, the amount of force in ratio to the weight of the item is very high. Thus the rocket zips out and flies fast and far. It looks like it could be very cool.
