Good thing it was in the box.

It's interesting to me that the box was part of the Citation line, the marketing foray into department stores. The material cost of the box was probably close to the sum total of all the rest, but perceived to be a necessary cost adder for the retail segment then emerging. Otherwise, the box was just overhead, adding no value to the rocket. (Please, that's not a dare for the hard heads here who have flown a box )

Anyway, the box served a good purpose this time And hey, you can probably still get 25 bucks for it on eBay
