Just over 30 years on from the original mission, The LEGO Group wanted to delve deeper into people’s passions for space to really uncover what they think of the great beyond. This LEGO model is a great way for LEGO builders and space fans alike to get excited about space travel and learn more about the famous mission in a fun and engaging way.” Hubble is definitely the highlight of my career. Looking at the model, it was great to reminisce about my experiences in space launching the telescope for the first time. Kathy Sullivan said, “I was thrilled to see the space shuttle in LEGO form, and was very impressed by the amount of intricate detail they have managed to recreate from the module where we used to sleep and eat through to what we called the “milk stalls” on the telescope. Both also come with a display plaque which features key data from the mission.Ĭommenting on the set, Dr. My sticker sheets were also badly curled, which didn’t help.The new LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery, which was developed in collaboration with NASA, is a complex 2,354 piece build that pays homage to this pioneering moment in space history and marks the 40th anniversary since the first Space Shuttle flight on 12th of April 1981. The set, aimed at adults, features the Discovery orbiter with functional landing gear, payload bay doors, elevons and rudder and the famous Hubble Space Telescope, which can either be folded and contained within the payload bay or expanded with solar array and displayed separately. While the normal stickers were straight forward to apply, the reflective stickers were painful, as the doors are curved, with the stickers going on the interior of the curve.

As per normal with these types of subjects, the first few pages of the manual outline some information about the actual Discovery. There’s also an instruction manual, sticker sheet with the stickers for the info panels and a couple more, a foil sticker sheet for the stickers inside the payload bay doors, and a plastic sheet with the reflective panels for the Hubble. Inside the box there’s 18 bags across 17 numbered steps, and a bag of the larger parts. The detail is exquisite, and it also includes a bonus Hubble Space Telescope as a separate and equally as detailed build. There’s also been numerous space shuttles in LEGO, but this one takes the scale up a notch, measuring 54cm in length. Adding in the Space Shuttle Discovery is really exciting, and especially at this scale. One of the most highly regarded sets, the Saturn V is still listed as on back order on, and then there’s also the ISS and the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander. There’s a very strong pairing, not including the iconic Classic Space loved by so many fans. LEGO and Space go together like cheese and crackers.
