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…
