Set 60229 came with one small robot-rover that would fit into the cargo bay of the shuttle-rocket (the one on the left).
I think it is designed along the lines of the Mars rovers we have send out in the last decades; a semi-autonomous vehicle with 6 wheels, an observation mast (here with stereoscopic cameras I think), solar power panels and something to drill/scoop/scratch the surface.
After not liking the big rover set (60225) it came as a surprise to me that this new line had small rovers that I did like!
It offers quite a bit of room for modifications, so I gave it a quick try. Seat and control panel for a human driver instead of AI unit. The drill was replaced by a laser drill (of course). And I stuck a proper communication dish on it. I think the basic design of this Rover offers as much possibilities for modification as the old tiny grey rovers from Classic Space. Just stick on diggers, claws, lasers, power packs or wherever you like, it will work…
Mission Space has been one of those pavilions that I never really had a lot of pics of. I just never wound up on that side of the park around close and by the time I made it around there it was roped off. With that in mind I decided to dedicate some time during an EMH night to getting some pics of Mission Space. I actually wound up spending about an hour shooting all around Mission Space from various angles getting a bunch of different shots. It's safe to say I have a good mix of shots of this pavilion now. It's always nice to be able to fill in some of the gaps in my Walt Disney World photo coverage.
This was shot with the Nikon D810 and Nikon 70-200 2.8. The moon was very well positioned over the pavilion and nearly full so I knew this would be a perfect time for shooting Mission Space. I always love being able to include elements such as stars or moons with Mission Space since they fit so well thematically. For this shot I stood quite a ways back and zoomed in on the pavilion. This helped make the moon appear a bit larger in the frame and also compressed the elements in the frame in a way I felt was interesting architecturally.

Milwaukee Art Museum
The interior of the museum is as shockingly beautiful as the exterior. The light coming through the generous allocation of glass windows illuminates the inner space in a very pleasant way and brings you right into the artistic high you don't want to wake up from...
'Now remember what I told you Syl, go easy with that bottle!'
'I still have to break it, don' tI?'
'Just the bottle Syl, not the ship!'

Very slightly modified version of the space ship from small set 60224.
I have 2 smallish space shuttles, the one that came with the space station (set 60227) and this one. And for the last 3 weeks I have been trying this and that to come up with my own version, but those Lego designers knew what they were doing. Their design worked best...
In the end, I just added a pair of extra small wings to the front...
What a great memory! September 21, 2012.
We were stepping out of the Star Wars ride at Disneyland, looked up to see the Space Shuttle Endeavour fly over on it's Boeing 747 transport, along with it's escort plane, to it's final display location at the California Science Center in Los Angeles. Lucky timing!
After not feeling well all weekend I'm finally recovering and preparing for my trip to Seattle (starting on Friday).
As I'll not have the time to post anything in the next two weeks here's something from my last trip to Seattle to show you where I am / will be. The Space Needle's imposing structure at Seattle Center is recognized as the city's architectural icon.
Take care and have a wonderful time!
A space to breathe deep, clear the mind and free the soul.
I hope everyone's having a good weekend, I'm a busy bee at the mo but popping into your streams when I can.
Thanks for all the positive feedback!
Here's some additional information that is missing from the EXIF data: The shot was made with a Samyang 8mm manual fisheye lens close to Sloane Square tube station in London SW1. BW conversion with Silver Efex Pro 2.

I only had one lens with me and mounted to my Canon 5d Mark ii - the new Canon 16-35 f4.0L IS - what a superb walk-around lens whenever you need to go wide. It allows you to shoot very slow shutter speeds, really helping where tripods are impractical or forbidden, and is very sharp corner-corner - Canon's best wide-angle zoom for landscape and interior shots.
We just watched the movie Ad Astra and it sure made you think about how much Space is out there and how nice it is to be here and grounded.
Second stage of my Space Marine Army project finished. Now there are two full squads of Marines, one Tactical and one Devastators, a Dreadnought, Land Speeder and a fully remotely controlled Power-Functions powered Predator tank.
Space invader is back.
The pitch of the movie is the same as in round n°1 :
So I'm driving in the icelandic east fjords. Basically, I can't see a thing.
The cloud surrounding me is so thick the sunlight has become an abstract notion.
Until the next turn. From it and it seems magic, the sky is so clear that you should be able to see Pluto's tail.
Going along one of the fjords, I can now see the other side.
Except that I can't.
Another fluffly monstruosity is filling up the lower layers of the sky and most layers of emerged land.
That tells me that I should take my time going there, enjoy the sun for a bit, that if I couldn't see anything before, it must have come from quite some picturesque cloud if taken from the outside.

That was my third entry for the contest "Out of this World Space Builds" on Lego Idea.
Story:
“We meet again our two fellow classic space figs, Eddy and Cindy with their new outfits. They are now going on a new adventure, exploring space!
Unfortunately, this spaceship doesn't have a rover to explore the surface of new discovered planets but have a little useful speeder bike attached to the rear. Well, Cindy have difficulties to handle the speeder and is kind of scared by its power ... (both minifigs have a double side face, one normal and the other scared ... the speeder bike is definitively difficult to handle!!)”
In fact, it was designed to be with this diorama but it was a large spaceship so I decided to substitute another (smaller) and make this one on his own.

'Straight at me... slowly... right!
'Why are we this close to these large boulders and rocks? Shouldn't we build a bit further away?'
These rocks will be part of our base... We can build higher this way, and use those natural caves as well...'
'Them rocks look weird, regular, almost build!'
'Ah well, probably just basalt or something, you have those weird geometric rock patterns at some place on earth too...'
'Are you sure this is the front end?'
'It most certainly will be, once we're done!'

The crawler from set 60229 taking shape.
The rubber wheels are on axles that connect to one sprocket in each track. It 'drives' the hard plastic tracks, even on a very smooth surface, and works very well.
