Sea Launch Platform

The rocket can be ‘launched’ from the platform into the night sky on its journey to the moon!  

This build is loosely based on the Odyssey Sea Launch platform, a mobile drilling rig that was converted to launch rockets. This is becoming an increasingly popular method due to advantages, such as mobility to launch from prime positions and safety.

228 pieces were used in this build. The rocket is controlled by a handle on the back and a black plate prevents you from seeing through. There is a ship beside the launch platform, both with helipads. Below the waterline, the legs of the platform can be seen. For the real platform to move they would raise out of the water. 

I also included two fish, some rocks and kelp on the sea floor. Two rockets act as decorative support poles.
