First Men to the Moon

This is a RARE sci-fi story written by Wernher Von Braun (The Father of Modern Rocketry). One of the top scientists behind the Apollo missions, he often took time to educate people on space exploration. This book was written in the 1960's, and is about two fictional astronauts (John & Larry) exploring the moon. He took known facts (and his inventions) and wrote them into a fictional story to educate readers around 10 years and up. In fact, this book is very close to what the lunar missions really turned out to be! And doesn't this scene look a lot like something from LEGO's Classic Space? That's because LEGO often based their Classic Space sets off of designs (both present and futuristic) from the Apollo era, and several of the spacecraft from that time period were designed by Dr. Braun himself!

Built mostly in micro-scale, but it also includes John & Larry minifigures + their seismographic rockets + lunar ground. Return Ship separates for play (and storage). No overhanging parts!
