LEGO CUUSOO

As we get closer and closer to extraterrestrial colonization, all space agencies around the world, have their eye on Mars. We may be still years, decades or even centuries from establishing the very first human colony outside of our own planet, but as much as each space agency has their own designs in the making, they all share a common view, it will be in Mars and it will be modular.

Inspired in dozens of sketches from NASA and the European Space Agency, I have design what I believe will be the ultimate base for a LEGO human settlement in Mars. This is science fiction but with a realistic approach, as the program intends to initiate the settlement in 2023 ( WATCH VIDEO ).

The set is made with 6 independent modules, each of which is fully decorated, a mobile lab (with interiors), a rover, solar panels and an antenna for telecommunications, for a great total of some 4300 parts. However, for those worried about size and price, I remind you that the entire set is modular, which means that each module is a playable set by itself. Modules could be sold in pairs or trios, the mobile lab attaches itself to a bridge adapted to one of the modules, but by itself, is as playable as any LEGO set.
