The Space Shuttle, the spacecraft used in recent decades by NASA for its space missions, officially went into retirement after 30 full years of operation. The first mission dates back to 1981, while in 2011 he returned from his last mission.
A true icon of the progress of humanity, the search continues to discover and understand the universe around us and to which we belong. An object of worship will be recalled that, perhaps as a symbol of an era that no longer exists, given the downsizing of space programs.
A curious way to do this is with this collector's model made from Lego, a replica in every detail, but according to the revised Law of the brick.
The Shuttle is about 45 cm from the other wing will measure 25, is complete with tank, rocket and launch pad so that you can hold it in position.
And possible to disengage it from the ramp and remove the tank and rockets, being equipped with landing gear can also keep it horizontal resting on its wheels. The central segment opens, just like the shuttle in the real mission, and can be extracted with a mechanical arm attached to a satellite.
The scenario is completed by means of ground support to coordinate the phases of launch and three characters, an assistant of the base and two astronauts, one woman and one man.
A great gadget that will revive historical moments, and keep alive the memory of a vehicle that caught the imagination of millions of people of various generations around the world.
