DESCRIPTION
With the removable red ball on the rod, hold the astroblaster by the tip of the rod, release it, and hope that it is still oriented vertically when it strikes the ground.  Or drop if from a short height above the table and it should maintain its orientation.  The bottom balls should stop dead while the top ball rebounds to several times the original release height.
