@rhs102857, Nope. It's my father-in-law, Norman Rose.  You may remember him as the voice of Juan Valdez, too!

[rhs102857]

I'd swear that the guy doing the voice over in this ad is the same guy who did the voice of "THe Robot" on "Lost In Space" .. Hmm?

I had this capsule when I was a nipper. Such a shame that nowadays kids aren't allowed to grow up like we were able to do in the 60s and 70s. No more innocence of youth.

wow, so kewl. those were the days.

Great vintage Joe commercial, thanks for posting it! Although upon looking at it, how much trouble do you think those kids got in for setting up and filling up an above ground pool in the house? *lol* --Dancougar82

I remember going to my cousins and staying with my grandma. My cousins were away and I played with his GI Joe and Capsule. I put it out in the yard and would do a rock meteor shower from the back deck above and I smashed it to shit. Boy were they pissed when they got home. This was in 1974

We got most of what is in this commercial as hand me downs from my Cousins. Had a great time. It's too bad there are no toys like this that spur imagination in this day and age.

[bullbuder]

I still have the 45 RPM too. "Welcome to manned space exploration..."

[storminole]

My astronaut GI Joe with space capsule are long long gone ... but I still have the 45 rpm record that came with it. One side has the count down and lift off along with some in-space transmissions by John Glenn during his orbital flight of 1962.
