Exploding rocket

[Harold Hoggarth]

I am just finishing a new very short puppet sketch about a professor who has discovered a new planet. He has developed a new space rocket and new type of fuel made out of sugar, butter and stuff. The count down is on the last minute but things keep going wrong and he has to keep stopping it. eventually at the last second the top half of the rocket falls off, the bottom half falls farward and and shoots sweets over the audience. Has any one any suggestions on how to make the rocket fall in bits. and the bottom half tilt forward to about 60 degrees.

How big is the rocket? and how is it placed in relation to the audience?
