LEGO Introduces the 1:70 Scale Model of the Space Shuttle Discovery and Hubble Telescope – stupidDOPE.com

LEGO has far surpassed being simply a kids building block that sparks creativity, adults love LEGO just as much due to their nostalgic nature and the ability to build whatever you want, only limited to your imagination. LEGO has celebrated NASA before, and they continue grandly with the Space Shuttle Discovery and Hubble Telescope set.

Developed hand in hand with NASA, the LEGO Space Shuttle Discovery and Hubble Telescope set helms more than 2,350 pieces for a highly detailed, scaled reproduction of the real thing. As a 1:70 scale model of the shuttle, and telescope, the unit even has moving parts.

Retractable landing gear, payload bay doors, a robotic arm, tailerons, rudder, and a removable cockpit. With the cockpit out of the way, the builder can look directly into the flight deck.

The payload doors open to reveal, and deploy the Hubble Telescope, just as the real Discovery launched back in April 1990 on the STS-31 mission. The set retails for $199, and you can cop this and other historic model sets at LEGO.
