MOC SpaceX Falcon 9 Complete Set

[im__hungry]

Hey all

Me and my 4 and 5 year old boys share a love for Lego and space, we have taken a particular liking to watching all the SpaceX falcon 9 and Starship prototype launches, the launches are amazing, if you haven't watched the SN8-12 Starship test flights, I highly recommend you do. Being in Australia and waking the younglings up at 4-5am in the morning to watch the launches definitely has caused some interesting discussions with the wife......Anyway this love of Lego and space has naturally led to a lot of rocket building and a realisation that I would really love Lego to release a spaceX rocket build. 

This led to me designing a Falcon 9 rocket and submitting it onto Lego Ideas for the chance of Lego potentially taking my design and turning it into the next Rocket Set. Which would be a dream come true really. 

If you want to support and help this dream become a reality then please follow this link and hit support. It would take you 5mins and mean a lot to me.

If not then that's ok, I am just as happy to discuss and show off my Lego creation with all of you and hear your thoughts and comments. 

It definitely had a few challenges so was a fun design to do. the folding legs and fitting the minifigures into the Dragon Capsule was probably the most challenging. 

Let me know what you think.

Thank you

Thank you for looking :)

Those are really cool.  While it is slightly odd to have real world space vehicles in the Sci-Fi forum, Space X is leading us toward a lot of things that even a year ago would have been considered "sci-fi".

Most people do not comprehend the significance of actually getting the "Starship" craft working as they expect to over the next year or two.  Basically the whole joke about permanent moon bases being 10 years away for 40 years now would actually become 10 years away for real this time.  "Starship" is also the only realistic craft in development capable of carrying enough provisions for a manned Mars mission.  The next few years could prove quite revolutionary.  Exciting times.

What SpaceX is doing is amazing, the rate and speed that they are launching these prototypes is amazing. The genius of the Falcon 9 and the successes of it as the first real reusable rocket has also left everything before it well behind. I cant wait until the day I can sit with my boys and watch the SpaceX lunar ship return people to the moon and then the Starship to Mars.
