Traditionally used for making awesome fictional spacecraft, LEGO is now being recruited by NASA to encourage people to learn about and make awesome real spacecraft as well.

NASA technology + LEGO hmmm….?

I’m very tempted to send in pictures of my research with the note “I am LITERALLY using LEGO to build future spacecraft. No, seriously.”
