Jeune minou découvrant son environnement.
Sa maman avait cinq petits. Je ne le vois plus et deux autres non plus.
Il était si craquant !
Developed as a long-range exploration vessel sized between its more famous stablemates the LL928 and LL924, the LL926 Cosmos Explorer ended up having less in the way of cargo space in the rear compartment, only able to fit the smallest design of rover available to the Lagrange-Lunacorp designers. Most of the extra space was taken up with fuel storage and crew supplies, giving the Cosmos Explorer the longest unsupplied range of the three vessels.
The lack of cargo capacity made the Cosmos Explorer less versatile than either of the other early LL-type explorer ships, however, and many planetary fleets of the inner system bought only a few of the craft. In the far reaches of the Uranian and Neptunian leagues and the Kuiper Belt Alliance, however, these ultra-long-range craft really came into their own.

So I was planning to build a sleekened, updated version of the old LL924 Space Transporter, but I think this ended up a bit bigger than that venerable beauty. Not quite up to the LL928, but that might actually be within reach now. Amazing thought.
One of the new LEGO astronauts is exploring an unknown planet where she discovers an unusual green rock :-)
This shot was inspired by the new geode pieces from the LEGO Space sets. I couldn't wait to use a @Brickstuff LED to make it glow :-)
It was veiled in all of the temporary winter we had that day but it looks like a fine place to explore.
Slightly east of Parker, Arizona on AZ95, the mighty Colorado is out there in the photo but it doesn't show.
The discovery of instantaneous wormhole travel in the by the US government led to the formation of multiple exploration teams. Their mission: To explore new worlds and return possible technologies for research and development.
Before I took my hike on Mount Etna, Shirley and I visited and did the normal tourist exploration. That involved a trip up on the cable car at Etna Sud followed by a local hike. Such events arn't really my cup of tea but it did give Shirl a good degree of an intro into the terrain and environment.
This photo was taken a few hundred feet lower than one of the small volcanic cones (Cisternazza I think) close to the top of the summit gondola station. It clearly shows a party making their way along the edge of a cone. Of course the cloud swirling around adds nicely to the atmosphere.
To James, thanks for the thoughts exchanged, your long friendship and for making me think all the time. A big hug.
More exchange of ideas in the description of the set, just updated today.
