Bremen, Germany. Orion's European Service Module is loaded on the Antonov airplane for transport to Kennedy Space Center.
For the first time, NASA will use a European-built system as a critical element to power an American spacecraft, extending the international cooperation of the International Space Station into deep space. The European Service Module is a unique collaboration across space agencies and industry including ESA’s prime contractor, Airbus, and 10 European countries. The completion of service module work in Europe and shipment to Kennedy signifies a major milestone toward NASA’s human deep space exploration missions to the Moon and beyond.

Maidan-e-Brick - showing the market - first 4 out of either 8 or 10 (not yet decided) 48x48 modules making up the entire Maidan.
After struggling with sub-standard tables at public shows resulting in warped baseplates, wavy track alignment, etc.; I decided I should build my own table modules. The design objectives were as follows:
1) self-contained table module with legs, wiring, etc. built-in
2) dimensionally aligned to integer multiples of 16-studs
3) mutually aligned with dowels and/or bolts in both end-end or end-side configurations
4) support optional drop-in modules between self-standing modules
The design you see here is the result. I have built 4x of these modules for my latest Lego model railway and I am quite satisfied with the result. They have proven to be very robust and provide a flat consistent surface for the baseplates. The disadvantage of this design is its weight. Its a compromise I was willing to accept in exchange for robustness. These modules have to survive the rigours of transport to/from public shows as well as within my own house!
I wanted to build a ship/probe module that had the textures of current technology coupled with the shapes and lines of the sci-fi world not yet invented. All stickers are official (from the Discovery line.) All pictures at Brickshelf once moderated.

The LM was built by Grumman Aircraft and designed by aerospace engineer Thomas J. Kelly. It was comprised of an octagon-shaped descent stage with landing gear and an irregular-shaped ascent stage that contained the instrument panels and flight controls. The ascent and descent stages measured a combined 18 feet in height (22 feet with the antennas), 14 feet in width and 13.3 feet in depth. Early versions had three landing legs, large windows, seats, and a forward docking port. The three-leg configuration was light but unstable, therefore, a four-leg solution was chosen. The large windows, seats, and additional docking port were removed. Crew in the LM would stand and have smaller viewports for piloting. The removal of the docking port meant that the lunar orbit rendezvous was in the hands of the Command Module Pilot.
The shape and size of the LM was difficult to capture accurately at minifig scale. The limited size and variety of the Lego blocks available posed a challenge to accurately render the complex shapes of the LM.

And one is a Tabletop Crawfish Support Module. Our pond scum expedition netted (literally, heh) a tiny crawfish. We'll see what happens.
from a project in Make: magazine.
Orion is NASA’s next spacecraft to send humans into space. It is designed to send astronauts further into space than ever before, beyond the Moon to asteroids and even Mars. When they return to Earth, the astronauts will enter our atmosphere at speeds over 32 000 km/h but the capsule will protect them and ensure a bumpy but safe landing.
ESA has designed and is overseeing the development of Orion’s service module, the part of the spacecraft that supplies air, electricity and propulsion. Much like a train engine pulls passenger carriages and supplies power, the European Service Module will take the Orion capsule to its destination and back.
Orion will go further than any other crewed spacecraft has before and European design and technology will make that happen.

Le Corbusier described it as a "range of harmonious measurements to suit the human scale, universally applicable to architecture and to mechanical things."

The island project started with this two year old MOC. Still acceptable and will be used as it is with the 11 other modules I plan to build.
