LEGO looks to NASA's future on Mars for design of new space sets

NASA's plans for sending humans to Mars may still be decades away from reaching the red planet, but the space agency's concepts have already taken shape in the toy brick world of LEGO.

The Denmark-based toy company on Thursday (May 30) officially unveiled seven new LEGO City sets inspired by NASA's recently refocused ambitions beyond low Earth orbit. The new Mars exploration-themed sets will launch globally for sale on Saturday (June 1) and in the United States beginning June 23.

In addition to the sets listed, there is also a polybag-packaged "Space Satellite" set "inspired by NASA spacewalks." The 36 piece set first was spotted in stores in May.

From Mike Massimino on Facebook:
Watch me unbox and build the new LEGO City Mars Shuttle while floating in zero gravity! Let's get inspired and build our way to Mars one step and one brick at a time!
