At the time of its ignition, the 322-foot-tall (98-meter) rocket became the most powerful vehicle to successfully take flight and advanced NASA's Artemis program goal of returning astronauts to the lunar surface in this decade.Now, Lego has captured the complexity of the SLS in a new 3,601-piece, $259.99 (€259.99 or £219.99) set as part of its line of replica models.</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-042524a-lego-artemis-space-launch-system-milky-way-announce.html" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-042524aaa-lg.jpg" width="400" height="225" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>collectSPACE <blockquote><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-051824a-lego-nasa-artemis-space-launch-system-hidden-details.html">From tails to (umbilical) arms, the hidden details in Lego's new Artemis SLS rocket</a>What do two dinosaur tails, four beehives, six segments of roller coaster track and 88 faucets have to do with a rocket designed to fly astronauts to the moon?They are all among the repurposed parts, hidden details and "easter eggs" found when building the new Lego Icons NASA Artemis Space Launch System model, now lifting off from store shelves.

This prompted me to take a close look at this NASA crawler transporter and implement it in the MOC HK-2024-01-NASA Crawler Transporter (By the way: the used scale is approx. 1:160).The crawler can be built in two variants: <OL TYPE=1><LI>with interior (under the white platform) and<LI>without interior</OL> For detailed informations please see <a href="http://bricks.hwlk.de/en/lego-mocs/crawler/crawler.html" target="AirLock">NASA Crawler Transporter</a>.<center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/haraldkraenzel/lego_moc_sls_crawler_transporter01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/haraldkraenzel/lego_moc_sls_crawler_transporter01.jpg" width="400" height="300" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/haraldkraenzel/lego_moc_sls_crawler_transporter02-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/haraldkraenzel/lego_moc_sls_crawler_transporter02.jpg" width="400" height="300" border="0"></a></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>astroborg</TD><TD>Thanks, Harald!</TD></TR></TABLE></td></tr></table>
