Object Information

Orbit King is a model space rocket.
History
After Bart sees a commercial about the product featuring Chet Manners he buys it with Homer's credit card. When it later arrives in the mail, Homer and Bart build the rocket together. The rocket is soon ready to launch, and Homer begins his countdown. Before he can reach T-0, the rocket explodes. The shock of the explosion blasts the eyebrows off of Milhouse's forehead and onto Bart's cheeks. Undaunted by failure, Homer and the boys try again. Homer tapes a new rocket to the launch pad and it explodes too. They then see that the Flanders have also built a rocket and so he contacts his old college room mates to build a new, better rocket. This time it's a success but the rocket begins to drift off course. Homer tries to radio a set of complicated directions to Nibbles, the astronaut. The hamster looks briefly at the control panel, sees the red eject button, and quickly gets a better idea. He head-butts the button and ejects to safety. The unmanned rocket heads for the church. Homer goes to his backup plan: He pulls out a shotgun and fires wildly at the rocket. He misses, and the rocket crashes into the church, ricocheting around and causing havoc before bouncing out and landing on the front lawn. The flames and smoke are visible from the Simpsons' back yard.[1]
Someone got an Orbit King during a Black Friday sale at Sprawl-Mart.[2]
