Scare films put me off firecrackers from childhood, but I will admit that the packaging art here is very tempting, cribbing the Moon Monster from a mail-order poster ad that you used to see in popular Horror Magazines and comic books back in the '70s.

I was actually old enough to enter this contest when it appeared. However, I wasn't quite old enough to understand all the fine print. It was one of my uncles who talked me out of entering.
The thing was, this full-size Gemini mock-up from McDonald Douglas wasn't yours if you won the contest; you had to donate it to a museum or park. As my uncle pointed out, if I won the closest museum that might've accepted the Gemini capsule was probably in New York City, at least an hour away from my house by car or train.
I thought this was a big con job. What kid wouldn't want their own space capsule at home? And who would want to donate it to a museum, where you'd never get to play with it?
Man, my parents could've filled the thing with snacks and locked me inside, and I wouldn't have bothered them all summer long!
Some kid in Portland, OR named Robbie Alan Hanshew won the thing, and donated it to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. I bet he never even got to sit in it.
Still, it's probably just as well I never entered the contest or won. Me sainted mum would'nt have let me keep the other part of the prize: every single Revell model kit (approximately 200 at the time). She thought model kits were a waste of time when I should be outside playing, or mowing the lawn, or weeding the garden, or any other of the dozens of chores she had lined up to fill my every waking moment when I wasn't in school.
She probably thought I was gonna get high off the model glue, too.
