Lego reveals NASA Artemis rocket, Milky Way galaxy sets coming in May

In November 2022, NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) lifted off with an uncrewed human-rated spacecraft on a 25-day mission around the moon. 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.
