Description of
What We Do...
Making Fiction into non-fiction
Lego sets we can bring
Welcone to our Lego Experience.
Our LEGO® area offers more than just hands-on activities — it’s a showcase of creativity, engineering, and imagination. Visitors can explore a variety of LEGO sets on display, featuring detailed builds designed for viewing and inspiration. Some models are demonstration pieces, allowing you to see how mechanisms work and how creative design brings movement and function to life.

Apollo 11 Moon Landing (July 20, 1969)
Apollo 11 was the historic NASA mission that first landed humans on the Moon. Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface in the Lunar Module Eagle while Michael Collins remained in orbit aboard the command module.
​
Upon stepping onto the Moon, Armstrong declared, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” The astronauts collected samples, conducted experiments, and photographed the surface before safely returning to Earth.
​
This achievement marked a major milestone in space exploration and demonstrated humanity’s ability to travel beyond our planet.
Our displays highlight different themes and construction techniques, showing what can be achieved through patience, design, and innovation.
International Space Station (ISS)
The International Space Station (ISS) is a permanently crewed space laboratory orbiting about 250 miles above Earth. Built through cooperation among NASA, Roscosmos, ESA, JAXA, and CSA, it serves as a microgravity research center where astronauts conduct experiments in science, medicine, and technology. The ISS helps scientists understand how living and working in space affects the human body and supports the development of technologies needed for future missions to the Moon and Mars.
Space Shuttle (discovery)
While Space Shuttle Discovery itself completed its missions safely, the Space Shuttle program experienced two devastating tragedies. In 1986, the shuttle Challenger was lost shortly after launch, and in 2003, Columbia disintegrated during reentry. Both accidents resulted in the loss of their crews and deeply affected NASA and the world. These tragedies led to major safety reforms, engineering improvements, and renewed commitment to protecting astronauts as human spaceflight continued.
Space Shuttle Discovery was one of NASA’s most accomplished orbiters, flying 39 missions between 1984 and 2011. It launched and serviced satellites, conducted scientific research, deployed the Hubble Space Telescope, and helped build the International Space Station. Known for its reliability and historic achievements, Discovery carried more astronauts into space than any other shuttle. Today, it is preserved at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum’s Udvar-Hazy Center as a symbol of the Space Shuttle program’s legacy.
Much like LEGO creations, Star Trek has long inspired real-world technology and innovation. Star Trek continues to influence modern gadgets and future technologies. Our exhibit celebrates this spirit of imagination — where creativity, science, and exploration come together.
The Artemis rocket program is NASA’s next step in human space exploration, designed to return astronauts to the Moon and prepare for future missions to Mars. Powered by the Space Launch System (SLS), Artemis missions will send the Orion spacecraft beyond Earth orbit, aiming to land humans near the Moon’s south pole for the first time. The program focuses on sustainable exploration, new technologies, and international cooperation, marking a new era of deep-space discovery.
The Artemis rocket represents a bold leap forward in real-world space exploration, much like the historic warp flight launched by Zefram Cochrane in Star Trek: First Contact. In the film, Cochrane’s Phoenix marked humanity’s first faster-than-light journey and the beginning of a new era of exploration and interstellar cooperation. Similarly, NASA’s Artemis missions aim to return humans to the Moon and pave the way for deep-space travel to Mars and beyond. Both symbolize pivotal moments when human innovation transforms science fiction dreams into steps toward humanity’s future among the stars.
Stop by, explore, and discover how building today can inspire the technology of tomorrow.
