Best of FPF: Blast Off to Adventure!

Posted on Wednesday, March 12, 2025 by No comments yet

Nadine posted an unusual item for sale in the Charlotte Forum. We thought it was well worth a share:

“Calling all little astronauts! This one-of-a-kind handmade space capsule is ready for liftoff. Built from a repurposed sodar speaker shell, it’s fiberglass like a boat, with a padded interior for comfy space missions. The wood-and-tin nose cone lifts off for easy entry, and for safety, the hatch doesn’t latch—just push it open when it’s time to return to Earth!

At 3 feet wide and 3.5 feet tall, it’s the perfect size for young explorers. A dream hideout for future astronauts, deep-space adventurers, or secret mission planners. Give this rocket ship a new home and let the countdown begin!”

Want to hear the follow up to this story? The space capsule is no longer for sale – a teacher from Ferrisburgh heard about this treasure and now it’s going to be donated to their school! Many adventures to come…
