The iconic Ranger spacecraft from my favourite film of last year, Interstellar, lovingly recreated in Lego.
The rear hatch is hinged, of course, to allow access when landed on alien worlds.

It's quite amazing how much you can see in the night sky during a new moon once you get far away from the city. The universe just opens up, reminding you of its unfathomable scale and how small our world (let alone ourselves) is in it. Oddly (or perhaps not so odd), I find that particularly refreshing.
As a professional space nerd I could go on and on about the cool things in this picture. But there are better pictures and better people for that. On a more emotional level, taking these pictures makes me feel as though Mother Nature is gently reminding us of our small place in the cosmos.

The iconic Ranger spacecraft from my favourite film of last year, Interstellar, lovingly recreated in Lego.
My favourite piece of the build is at the front: the 6x8 black slope, inverted. This was my starting point.
The last addition was the landing gear. Fully retractable would have been nice but at this scale I had to settle for 'easily removable'.

Interstellar dust & matter Looking towards the inner spurs of our galaxy, Milkyway, from the wonderful star party at mt Parnon, Sparta 10th National Annual Star Party of Greek Amateur Astronomers Special thanks to the Astronomical Union of Sparta! Banquet of interstellar dust matter and looking at the internal threads of our galaxy somewhere between Centaur Sagittarius, Scutum and Serpens Cauda. The Galactic Center is the rotational center of the Milky Way. The estimates for its location range from 7.6 to 8.7 kiloparsecs (about 25,000 to 28,000 lightyears) from Earth in the direction of the constellations Sagittarius, Ophiuchus, and Scorpius where the Milky Way appears brightest. There is strong evidence consistent with the existence of a supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way. text bit.ly/2bblTJz The main disc of our galaxy has a diameter of 80,000 to 100,000 light-years, the perimeter 250 to 300 000 light years and a thickness of about 1,000 light years. It consists of 200 up to 400 billion stars. If we define a natural scale and assume that the Milky Way has a diameter of 130 km, the solar system would have a length of 2 mm. The Galactic Halo extends over a diameter of 250,000 and 400,000 light years. As reported extensively in the galaxy structure below, new research has shown that the disk extends much more than we thought until last. Officially, since 2005, the Milky Way is now considered to be a large barred spiral galaxy SBbc type the Hubble sequence (small barred spiral helix) with a total mass of 600 to 3,000 billion solar masses (M☉) [5] [6], comprising from 200 to 400,000,000,000 stars. The galactic disk has an estimated diameter of about 100,000 light years. The distance of the Sun from the center of the galaxy is estimated at 26,000 light years. The disc is protuberant in the center and symperikleietai from the so-called thick disk. The Sun (and thus the Earth and the Solar System) is quite close to the inner ring of the Arm of Orion, local cloud, at 7,94 ± 0,42 kpc from the Galactic Center. The distance between the local arm and immediately nearest, the Perseus Arm, is of the order of 1 · 1019 m (6.500 light years). The Sun and by extension the solar system, located in what scientists call the Galactic Habitable Zone. The direction of the Sun's path (apix or corymb), refers to the direction of the Sun as it travels in the Galaxy. The general direction of galactic motion of the Sun is near the constellation Hercules, at an angle of approximately 86 degrees from the Galactic Center. The orbit of the Sun in the Galaxy is expected to be approximately elliptical with the addition of influences from the galactic arms and uneven mass distribution. We are currently 1/8 of the track before perigalaxio (the shortest distance from the center of the Milky Way). The solar system takes about 225-250000000 years to complete an orbit (one Galactic Year), so speculation has performed approximately 20-25 orbits during its lifetime. The orbital speed of the Solar System is 217 km / sec, ie. One light-year every 1,400 years, and 1 AU in 8 days.

In this "CASE", MOC stands for Most Obvious Collection of parts. I will make this in real brick, and print stickers for the markings.
I was so glad that I was able to see this movie in theaters the day after it came out. It instantly became my favorite movie, and I decided that I wanted to make a Ranger. However, after seeing all the amazing Rangers that others have built, I kind of lost interest for awhile.
It wasn't until the digital release that I decided to try. It's taken me since March to complete this, and I nearly gave up multiple times, but I really wanted a Ranger model in my collection, so I kept with it. Here are the end results. It does have some interior detailing, which was actually easier to do than the exterior. Sadly, I don't have to many Computer panel pieces, so it doesn't have a lot of screen like it does in the movie. Also, one last bit. I tried to scale this based on how big the Endurance is (There is an infographic that shows how big the Endurance -With Rangers- is compared to the U.S. Space Shuttle.) I used that to try and get a rough size for my Ranger model, and while it looks a little large when compared to minifigures, I am quite happy with the results.
The Interstellar Spark is one piece of Blacktron II technology that is an example of the expression: “If its not broken… don’t fix it!”. With a heavy bulky structure, this ship won’t break a lot of record speeds like its successors, but it is one of the most reliable Vic Vipers in use by the Blacktron II air force.

This small Vic Viper was part of my participation on the New Elementary - 2019 Parts Fest #2.

And here is a small description of the process:
"When I saw the Roof Tile 1x8x3 Deg 25 No 1 in White (6262530|49618) I thought that they would be great to make spaceship wings because of their larger surface areas with fewer lines/unions. Since we are in “Novvember" I decided to make this year’s Vic Viper. Although I wanted to make a cleaner ship, I was able to incorporate some greebling on the wings using the “circular saw” part from the Mini Accessory, No. 11."
Interstellar is a fantastic movie. I love the way it explores the depths of time dilation. And the Endurance is a cool unique looking ship.
I saw a lego version of the Ranger in the link below and thought I'd see if I could make one like his. I think it turned out okay. I put and opening hatch on the back and also gave it landing gear.
