Lego Lunar Space Station 60227

Through hardship to the stars

Lunar Space Station is a new and rather unusual expansion of the LEGO City series of realistic, mostly urban vehicles and buildings. The set is a full-fledged space station, made in the image and likeness of the ISS, of course, in a slightly simplified form. The station consists of four modules-rooms and a docked spacecraft. Additional external elements of the station are solar panels and a undocking satellite.

In crowded but not mad

The through grey central module is the connecting link of the entire structure. From it you can get, or rather fly, because there is no gravity in space, to any premises of the station: a kitchen, a gym or a scientific laboratory for studying geological samples, apparently delivered from the Moon (it’s not for nothing that the word Lunar appears in the name of the set) . The laboratory has a microscope and even a laser — the first dummy, but the second one is quite functional (powered by a battery and glows at the touch of a button). The absence of gravity, by the way, allowed to save a lot of space in the cramped premises of the station by placing beds on the walls. The only pity is that for a comfortable game you will have to disassemble the station into modules and dismantle the roofs.

Full crew

The station crew consists of three astronauts: two men and one woman, although there are four LEGO minifigures in the set. The latter is an empty spacesuit for spacewalks: white, so as not to get excessively hot under the direct rays of the Sun, and with gold-plated helmet glass to protect the eyes (a rare LEGO piece). Another member of the crew, albeit inanimate, is a tentacle-armed robot that assists in outer space operations. If you liked the new LEGO space series, but want a bigger and more complicated constructor, then take a closer look at the Deep Space Rocket and Launch Control spaceport with a giant launch vehicle.
