1. Model Rocket Kit: Surprise your dad with a high-quality model rocket kit. There are various skill levels available, so you can choose one that suits his experience. This will allow him to indulge in his passion for model rocketry and spend quality time assembling and launching it.

2. Space-themed Books: Engage your dad's love for space exploration with a collection of interesting books. Look for titles like "The Universe in a Nutshell" by Stephen Hawking, "Rocket Men" by Robert Kurson, or "The Right Stuff" by Tom Wolfe. These books will provide fascinating insights into space exploration and stimulate his curiosity.

3. Space Documentary or Movie Collection: Collect some popular documentaries on space exploration or a set of classic science fiction movies featuring space-themed adventures. This way, your dad can spend his leisure time immersed in the wonders of the cosmos from the comfort of his own home.

4. Visit a Local Planetarium or Observatory: Plan a trip to a nearby planetarium or observatory for an astronomical experience. Many planetariums offer shows that explore space from a scientific perspective. This will give your dad an opportunity to learn more about the universe and stoke his passion for space.

5. Customized Rocketry Gear: Consider getting your dad personalized rocketry gear such as a custom-made rocket launching pad or a flight controller with his name engraved on it. This special touch will enhance his sense of connection with his hobby and make the gift even more meaningful.

6. Astronomy Binoculars: Gift your dad a pair of high-quality astronomy binoculars. With these, he can explore the night sky and observe celestial objects more closely. Look for binoculars designed specifically for stargazing, as they will offer optimal magnification and image clarity.
