[Book Review] Voyager, by Stephen J Pyne

NASA-themed Lego sets on the way!
Oooo. NASA and Lego are going to be teaming up to produce some NASA-themed lego sets! They’ll be making four apparently – I guess one is going to be a lego space shuttle (since they’re apparently sending up a lego space shuttle on the next real shuttle!), I really hope that one of them will be a Mars Rover (that’d be really cool if done Technic-style). Wonder what the other two might be?
