For those of you who don’t know, you can actually go to the LEGO website and design custom LEGO creations. Cool, huh? Well, someone on the Lunar Reconnsaissance Orbiter (LRO) project made one for LRO, which you can order here: http://tinyurl.com/legolro
I think this is really cool - I now have a LEGO version of “my” spacecraft! This seems like it could be another pretty cool way for us to engage the public! Anyone out there want to make a LEGO version of your spacecraft?

Very cool! and totally a great way to connect NASA to the public. And thanks for sharing the info.

Hey! Who bought all the parts? I want a Lego LRO too!

That is a most excellent find. I was aware of the make-your-own-LEGO design but never made the leap to apply it to s/c. I’ve passed on the link to other space missions I & others are working on as this is a great “participatory” idea.
