This LEGO build designed for fans aged 6 and older is a great set to put together on Astronomy Day, celebrated next month on April 29, 2023.
Traditionally Astronomy Day takes place in the spring and fall. The spring date occurs sometime between mid-April and mid-May, to coincide with the first quarter moon around a Saturday.
This fun space-themed LEGO set includes bricks and instructions to make three entirely different builds: a space shuttle vehicle; an oversized astronaut; and a space ship.
The space shuttle build includes an opening hatch and a satellite for deployment. The astronaut has jointed limbs for unique positioning -- making it fun for both play and display. Build a flag to make your own moon landing scene.
A big project on the LEGO Ideas site just got the needed 10,000 supporters to make it to the next level. The LEGO International Space Station will now enter the LEGO Review process and be officially considered by executives for possible production.
So many exciting things are happening today in the space industry. NASA will have a record number of launches out of Florida this year, and private space enterprises are busy moving forward with vehicles capable of traveling further and carrying more cargo than ever. This excitement means now is a perfect time to pick up space-related building toys for young minds to experience, like this awesome Space Port set.
