Toy rocket gives you an eye in the sky

Does the mention of model rockets bring back memories of ringing your neighbors' doorbell to apologize for an unexpected crash landing on their roof? Always a humbling moment, but if you had a Digital Video Rocket, the last laugh would be yours.

The Digital Video Rocket's nose cone is actually the impact-resistant housing for a digital camera. Pointed toward the ground, the cam will record for 12 seconds as the rocket soars to 500 feet, and can take a few pictures while its up there. For $60, you'll get the rocket and all of the software and hookups needed to save your triumphs and mishaps onto your computer for repeated viewings.
