Beyond the Moon

The year is 2040 and humans have established a permanent base on the moon. Now the time has come to explore even further. A small spaceship with a brave astronaut is launching from the moon, with Mars as destination. Since taking of from the moon, with it's low gravity and no atmosphere, the spaceship can be smaller, requiring less fuel, and be non-aerodynamic. 

So buckle up, count down, and press the leaver to make this Lego rocket blast off!

This Lego set consists of 249 pieces. When the leaver on the side of the base is pressed down, the rocket is lifted, exposing the rocket exhaust flames.
