![]() ![]() Kathy Sullivan gave her expert view on the future of space exploration to LEGO, including: “the biggest barriers to space tourism in the next 30 years is the safety and costs elements, if we can break through these the general public really could take a trip to space in the future. With 32% thinking it will involve very expensive and exclusive journeys into the atmosphereĭr. Over half (52%) think there will be space tourism in the next 30 years.71% of people believe there is life on other planets.24% of people believe that we will find new planets and 13% think we will find alien life in the next 30 years.Finding out more about the universe and making scientific discoveries listed as the number one reason people believe we should travel to Space, with understanding more about Earth taking second spot.The Space Shuttle external tank (ET) was the component of the Space Shuttle launch vehicle that contained the liquid hydrogen fuel and liquid oxygen oxidizer. The scorch mark near the front end of the tank is from the SRB separation motors. 72% of people label Space exploration as being “essential” The ET from STS-115 after separation from the orbiter.Including, what the next 30 years could hold, the future of space travel and if there really is life on mars. The whole set separated (Except for the booster rockets attached to the external fuel tank) Minifig added for size comparison. 2 pieces, mover on and bottom platform on top. 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. The new shuttle (Right) next to old version (Left) Mobile Launcher Platform. 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. These sets offer a detailed and realistic depiction of the iconic spacecraft and provide a fun and challenging building experience.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. The space shuttle Discovery and its booster-external tank stack are backlit by the open VAB doors as they rollout to the launch pad for the first time under NASAs STS-114 mission. ![]() The brick set NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283) set and the External Fuel Tank & SRB Addon are designed for older builders and collectors who are interested in space exploration and NASA’s history. Discovery flew more missions than any other shuttle, deploying the Hubble Space Telescope and helping to build the International Space Station too. The set also includes a display stand for the complete stack. The stringers make up the ribbed intertank section of the shuttle's external tank.

It includes additional components that make up the complete space shuttle stack, including the external fuel tank and two solid rocket boosters (SRBs) that attach to the sides of the fuel tank. A technician takes pictures of a cracked stringer on space shuttle Discovery's external tank. The External Fuel Tank & SRB Addon is an expansion set that can be added to the NASA Space Shuttle Discovery set.
