Retro Rocket Ride - Innovator LL001 - landed
This ship is the forerunner for all of the other Lego space ships: in 1970, this crucial piece of history launched from LegoLand Space Port for a mission to the moon. This was very soon after the failed 1965 launch of 801 series Space Rocket ( brickset.com/sets/801-3/Space-Rocket ), which killed the the brave crew of Kat Aclysm: female rocket science genius and designer of the experimental ship, and Abraham "Abe" Normal, the best test pilot in the academy. Their deaths at the Samsonite launch pad were not in vain though, as the newly founded LegoLand Aero-Space Authority (renamed Classic Space Command in 1978) rebuilt their reputation as the premier brick-built space agency by launching the "Innovator", also known as LL001 which in early August 1969 made history as the first mini figure - built object on the moon! This rocket and it's crew (Bill Fold, Penny Rich, and S1L-V3R) also made history as confirming the moon is made of cream cheese, as seen in the picture above.
(The story line is 100% fiction.)
In reality, this model was inspired by set 3831, (Rocket Ride, from the 2008 Spongebob line) albeit with one more section height-wise and a more organized inside with NO stickers! since last uploading this, I added a crew with robot helper inspired by the robot customer in the 2007 set number 4981 (another Spongebob set called The Chum Bucket).
