Scrooge McDuck Wikia

The Cattle King's Rocket was a one-of-a-kind space rocket built for Longhorn Tallgrass.

Description[]

Built for him by Alamo Rocket Works, this unique, Texas-themed Rocket fueled by "alkali and cow hair" was piloted by Longhorn Tallgrass in 1958 in the Great Space Race for ownership of the newly-discovered Golden Moon. However, Tallgrass pulled out of the race to instead lasso some asteroids welded by Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck into the shape of cows and bring them back to Earth.

Behind the scenes[]

The Cattle King's Rocket appears in the 1958 story The Twenty-Four Carat Moon.
