Lego released a new set that looks an awful lot like the SLS - Universe Today by AndyTomaswick
, as well as being part of the drive to name the rovers that eventually became Opportunity and Spirit.
We can only speculate why the set so obviously modeled on one of the agency’s main focal projects didn’t get the official NASA seal of approval. It might have something to do with the continual delays and budget overruns that the SLS, and the Artemis program by proxy, are suffering through.
The service vehicle looks like a little Jeep, while it also appears there is a small meteorite it is supposed to be designed to pick up. There’s also a miniature drone, which can fly in front of the observational deck with a hatch that can open. The rocket also fits perfectly into the launch tower while also being multistage, as the planned SLS is supposed to be.
Overall the set has the same quality owners expect from Lego. Space junkies will just have to see if this Rocket Launch Center becomes a limited edition and is eventually replaced by a fully licensed Artemis Mission set.
