I came across the Santa's Rocket Ship story on Facebook. The information there was as follows:
Santa's Rocket Ship was used for holiday promotion at malls, shopping center, and business districts in the Southern portions of the US. They were the result of a partnership between Lloyd Laster and Jack Moore. Laster was a businessman from Tyler, Texas and Moore was a circus owner from Oklahoma. They were in operation from the late 50's until the mid 70's. They were operated by circus workers who otherwise might have difficulty finding employment in the off season.
Additional efforts for more information took me to a Hemming's article from 2021 and while it made the Laster connection it also had much more. You can read the more in depth information here.
