LEGO Lunar Space Rover

Growing up, I used to be fascinated with space. The wonder, mystique, and secrecy of what was beyond Earth captivated me. However, I also felt a sense of fear whenever I thought of outer space. I thought, "If I was an astronaut exploring a distant planet and my vehicle broke, what would happen? Who would hear me scream for help? Where would I go?"

The Lunar Space Rover helps ease these fears. The vehicle is adorned by a rotating drill, light system, and backup rover. Cranking the black wheel near the bottom of the machine enables the drill to rotate (shown in image 3). Pushing the gray rod triggers the light to shine and helps the rover navigate in the dark (shown in image 3). To access the backup rover, open the trunk, slide the rover out, and extend the wheels.

Humans will always be drawn to space like moths to a flame; we want to explore it, no matter the risk. The Lunar Space Rover helps us chase that flame without getting burnt, letting the next generation dream without worry.
