NASA model reaches for the stars in second 2023 LEGO Ideas review
The second of only two space-centric projects has reached the second 2023 LEGO Ideas review, this time based on a real space agency.
LEGO Ideas’ extensive history with NASA may be more in its future should the aptly-named NASA RocketBuilder get their way. The user has proposed a recreation of NASA’s Space Launch System that has been designed for a mission to the moon in 2025 and another to Mars in the 2030s.
It’s similar to the previously proposed Kerbal Space Program – Modular Ship System from Sam67c but different enough to set itself apart thanks to its specific and realistic source material.
The project uses 1,745 pieces with four nanofigures, a display stand and a rocket that stands 35 inches tall, or nearly 89cm. The rocket can be seperated into its various stages similar to 92176 NASA Apollo Saturn V and horizontal display struts are included much like the official LEGO Ideas model.
It now joins 46 other submissions in the second 2023 LEGO Ideas review as summarised in the following table.

- LEGO has been a part of my life ever since I was young. It all started when my brother passed down 7657 AT-ST to me. It’s guided me through my early years, through school and eventually through my degree in journalism. I still have all my collection proudly on display, including my many NINJAGO sets, my favourite of all the LEGO Group’s themes. Outside of Brick Fanatics I am an avid gamer and enjoy a good game of Dungeons & Dragons.
