Hey everyone, I'm back, and this time I want to show you something different. This build was built as a part of "Out of This World Space Builds" on lego ideas, and was built as a 3D model because of lack of parts. It represents a small laboratory located on Mars, or whatever other planet that you want it on. On the exterior you can see it has rounded windows, entrance and on the top a small greenhouse, while in the interior you have a computer with a litle stand for samples of stones or whatever. It also has plenty of room to fit a minifigure. This was built as a hexagonal build wich takes up 10x12 stud space. Although it is a mecabricks build, all interactions between bricks have been previously checked with phisical bricks. Overall build contains 241 bricks. I would appreciate if you would drop a like or comment on lego ideas entry. It's called "Space Laboratory", original, isn't it. Here's the link:

I hope you like it!

SpaceEngine - A free space simulation program that lets you explore the universe in three dimensions, from planet Earth to the most distant galaxies. Areas of the known universe are represented using actual astronomical data, while regions uncharted by astronomy are generated procedurally. Millions of galaxies, trillions of stars, countless planets - all available for exploration. You can land any planet, moon or asteroid and watch alien landscapes and celestial phenomena. You can even pilot starships and atmospheric shuttles.
for my dear sewn spaces/great coverup swap. i hope you will get lots of use out of this!

The Space Shuttle Enterprise (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-101) was the first Space Shuttle orbiter. It was built for NASA as part of the Space Shuttle program to perform test flights in the atmosphere. It was constructed without engines or a functional heat shield, and was therefore not capable of spaceflight.
Originally, Enterprise had been intended to be refitted for orbital flight, which would have made it the second space shuttle to fly after Columbia. However, during the construction of Columbia, details of the final design changed, particularly with regard to the weight of the fuselage and wings. Refitting Enterprise for spaceflight would have involved dismantling the orbiter and returning the sections to subcontractors across the country. As this was an expensive proposition, it was determined to be less costly to build Challenger around a body frame (STA-099) that had been created as a test article. Similarly, Enterprise was considered for refit to replace Challenger after the latter was destroyed, but Endeavour was built from structural spares instead.
Construction began on the first orbiter on June 4, 1974. Designated OV-101, it was originally planned to be named Constitution. However, a write-in campaign caused it to be renamed after the Starship Enterprise, featured on the television show Star Trek.
The design of OV-101 was not the same as that planned for OV-102, the first flight model; the tail was constructed differently, and it did not have the interfaces to mount OMS pods. A large number of subsystems—ranging from main engines to radar equipment—were not installed on this vehicle, but the capacity to add them in the future was retained. Instead of a Thermal Protection System, its surface was primarily fiberglass.
In mid-1976, the orbiter was used for ground vibration tests, allowing engineers to compare data from an actual flight vehicle with theoretical models.
On September 17, 1976, Enterprise was rolled out of Rockwell's plant at Palmdale, California. In recognition of its fictional namesake, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and most of the principal cast of the original series of Star Trek were on hand at the dedication ceremony.
On January 31, 1977, it was taken by road to Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, to begin operational testing.
While at NASA Dryden, Enterprise was used by NASA for a variety of ground and flight tests intended to validate aspects of the shuttle program. The initial nine-month testing period was referred to by the acronym ALT, for "Approach and Landing Test". These tests included a maiden "flight" on February 18, 1977 atop a Boeing 747 Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCA) to measure structural loads and ground handling and braking characteristics of the mated system. Ground tests of all orbiter subsystems were carried out to verify functionality prior to atmospheric flight.
The mated Enterprise/SCA combination was then subjected to five test flights with Enterprise unmanned and unactivated. The purpose of these test flights was to measure the flight characteristics of the mated combination. These tests were followed with three test flights with Enterprise manned to test the shuttle flight control systems.
Finally, Enterprise underwent five free flights where the craft separated from the SCA and was landed under astronaut control. These tests verified the flight characteristics of the orbiter design and were carried out under several aerodynamic and weight configurations.
On August 12, 1977, the space shuttle Enterprise flew on its own for the first time

The space invader is made up of large tiles and tucked down a side street near the British Museum and Central Saint Giles. It's not part of any sort of art installation, and the rest of the walls in the area are clear, so I'm not sure how it ended up here.

Goddard's Ritsko Wins 2011 SAVE Award
The winner of the 2011 SAVE Award is Matthew Ritsko, a Goddard financial manager. His tool lending library would track and enable sharing of expensive space-flight tools and hardware after projects no longer need them.
This set of images represents the types of tools used at NASA.

The Lancer is a single seat, three engine interceptor designed to get places quickly on short notice. It is armed with four lasers and two missiles for interception.

The wings on this thing are held on by two studs and that blue rubber band.
for a LUG window display, probably. I started building a little base to go with my various space ships, but now that it's a totally different color scheme and fairly elaborate, it might go in by itself. At the least I need to make a couple more little vehicles to go with it.
It'll be cool to have a display window all to myself.
On the wreck of a merchant spaceship, lies in wait a dastardly pirate... Ready to steal off any scavengers who want his prize!
For the Eurobricks Space Pirate Contest, it was built in conjunction with Phred's classic pirate set on the same topic: www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=108865
Generally pretty satisfied with it, it's very different to other stuff I've made and it was fun adding the ATV, rock, and figures to make it more like a set. There's a light-up brick in the engine block, which is a V8 - who says space ships have nothing to learn from muscle cars?

I asked my guitar building friends to help inspire an automotive art project. I asked Chris Szarek to give me a decade or a year and he suggested the 80s because he said he’s stuck in the 80s. (He really is!) Next I asked Alex Moll to come up with an automotive make and model. He said, well since Chris picked the 80s can I be greedy and suggest my 1989 Ford F-150 4x4 short bed? I said yepper. Lastly I asked Nancy Wilson Chang to suggest a theme and she definitely didn’t disappoint with “Space Vikings”. This led me to researching 80s movie posters, the art of Frank Frazetta and, just for good measure, a few Motörhead album covers. I went with an arctic blue paint scheme for the truck and installed a catapult in the bed. The traction on the tires makes the truck reminiscent of a siege weapon. A Nordic boar graphic adorns the side while massive pipes and a snarling red-eyed skull makes it an over-the-top hellish ride. Add a rugged fiery space landscape, throw in a few mighty Vikings, planets and pterodactyls, add my guitar building friend’s names into the credits and you have yourselves the makings of what clearly would have been the best 80s movie in the history of the world ever. Suck it, E.T.!
