In my opinion, this is the most impressive part of the entire set. You also build the display stand and information plaque for the telescope. The first part of the set that you are instructed to build is the Hubble Space Telescope from bags numbered 1-3. Extra tidbits are sprinkled around the instruction pages, which makes the building process more engaging. There is also information about the LEGO designers who worked on this set. The instruction book is 320 pages long, and starts out with information about the five space shuttles that make up NASA’s Space Exploration System (STS) fleet (including the Discovery), as well as the Hubble Space Telescope. These sets are not just great building experiences, but also remind us of the brilliant innovators, hard working scientists, and brave explorers reaching new frontiers. The building instructions are full of educational materials and little tidbits that prompt me to do further research and take the building process slower than usual. The #10283 LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery set was released in April, so I’m a little late with this review, but I like to take my time with space exploration sets. Thus, I was very excited when LEGO announced the #10283 LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery set, the latest set made in collaboration between LEGO and NASA. The #10266 LEGO NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander from 2019, and the #21321 LEGO International Space Station from 2020 are two other excellent sets that are a pleasure to build and are educational as well. The #21312 LEGO Women of NASA highlighted important people in NASA’s history. The #21309 LEGO NASA Apollo Saturn V from 2017 was an amazing building experience and it looks great on display (this set was re-released as the #92175 LEGO NASA Apollo Saturn V in 2020 and is still available at the LEGO Ideas section of the Online LEGO Shop). The #21104 LEGO NASA Mars Science Laboratory was a short-lived set released in 2014 that I missed out on and would still like to get. Like many others, I’m a big fan of the NASA-related LEGO space-exploration sets.
