LEGO fans want more space-themed kits, like the International Space Station

Elon Musk isn’t the only one in the spotlight. Fans of Jeff Bezos’ space company, Blue Origin, want a build set for the Glenn Rocket, its launch tower and the Blue Moon lander.

The design, proposed by Mathew Nolan, is 1:110 in scale and is made up of 2675 LEGO bricks. The lander comes equipped with payloads of four mini rovers. The set also includes a large rover and satellite for deployment.

Numerous builds on LEGO ideas are proposing kits for the Soyuz rockets but one that’s running ahead of the others is the build for Vostok 1.

Vostok 1 was the first manned spaceflight. Russia’s accomplishment came at a time when it was locked in a space race against the US. So while LEGO has a build set to commemorate the US for putting the first man on the Moon, they are yet to make a Vostok build to credit Russia being the first to successfully launch a man into space.

Humans may not be able to live on Mars just yet, but Toby1Kenobi feels it might be easier to set a Mars colony with LEGO bricks instead.

The entire setup has eight domes with one large dome in the centre for habitation and seven smaller domes for scientific research, water purification and other activities required to survive on a strange planet.

There’s even a freighter to carry cargo and shuttle to and from the Red Planet.

For those who aren’t familiar with Red Dwarf, it was a popular British sci-fi comedy TV series that has developed a cult following over the years.

One of the creators, Bobs Vintage Bricks, has proposed building a kit around the Starbug — a type of shuttlecraft used by the crew to get from the main ship to the surface of a planet.

The kit would include the insect-looking pod and full cast of the show. Aside from Dave Lister, the last human alive, the kit will include his morphed pet cat Frankenstein, the hologram of his dead bunkmate Arnold Rimmer, and an android name Kryten.
