Still Building Spaceships...

In the 60s and 70s, kids always played with rockets emblazoned with NASA. Then as the 80s came along the space shuttle were the greatest thing in space travel – still with NASA bolding painted on the side. Well space ships are still totally cool but now there is a change – there are commercial logos on the sides of the rockets! SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy rocket is impressive boosting enough thrust to place a fully-loaded 737 jetliner into orbit and, something NASA hasn’t done, land and reuse all three of its 1st stage rocket cores. Khehmeyer designed a Falcon Heavy for the LEGO Ideas program that has lots of playability (removable stages, satellites, Crew Dragon capsules, etc.), and is true to scale. Measuring around 26 inches tall – it would look great in your office too.
