With the Creator Expert line, there’s 2010’s 10213 Shuttle Adventure that has realistically detailed many features of a space shuttle, like its engines, cockpit, booster rockets and fuel tank. Among the Technic sets, there was also the 21309 NASA Apollo Saturn V that referenced the Apollo 11 Moon landing. During the 90s, LEGO launched several authentic based space vehicles for the LEGO Town theme along with the LEGO Space Sport and most notably the LEGO Technic Space Shuttle. However, nothing beats going back to the origins of play themes inspired by real space tech. Soon after, the Space Police arrived and they even explored the ideas of aliens and Martian civilizations sets. Of course, fun was all part of LEGO’s formula, so they slowly added on science-fiction designs and added on bad guys to rival military pilots even though no weapons were included as they didn’t want violent conflict among sets. After the first few Space sets in 1964, LEGO owner Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen introduced the LEGO Space play theme which has since explored spaceships, lunar bases and rockets inspired by real space technology of the 1960s and 1970s. You already know that it isn’t the first time LEGO has explored the concept of space. And from the pictures, it looks like it’s you are able to deploy and tuck the Hubble Space Telescope into the hold of the Discovery! It has 2,354 pieces and the set includes a detailed recreation of the Hubble Space Telescope.

This new set looks to be built without a tank or any missiles but it’s accompanied by a stand to represent its flight through space.
