Wonder Sphere Rocketry

[stealth6]

You may have seen this toy on the market.....apparently it's a bit of a hot item going into the holiday season.
Called the Wonder Sphere....it's basically a hoverball that you can control and make do tricks (yes, it's a drone).


The thing is that in the bottom right corner it claims to "teach...basic principles of rocketry" (specifically trajectory and propulsion).
I'm all about STEM, and science based toys and such that actually teach kids about science stuff.
But quite frankly, I don't see how this thing "teaches basic principles of rocketry". Seems like a bit of a stretch, no?



thoughts?

I received one as a gift last year, and that corner text is mostly baloney as far as I'm concerned.

However, it is a cool and fun little toy, and pretty much works as advertised.
