In the early 70's there was a toy moon lander consisting of balloons simply air inflated, little plastic landing baskets you taped onto the balloon, and a handheld variable speed D-cells battery operated fan you aimed at the balloon from 3 or 4 feet, captured it with the fan with incrementally higher air speed, and the balloon could be moved from one location to another with a steady hand... Whatever happened to simple toys like that?
