Wow. I grew up in the early 80's building Lego Space sets -- all Lego men in spacesuits and shapeships and space stations, but all fictional.
It kind of blows my mind a bit to see a real-life space station built with Legos now.
I mean, I know they've had a space shuttle and rocket sets for a while, but those were still just somehow fundamentally "earth-bound". (And Lego never did make a Skylab set.)
But a space station... for some reason that just feels more properly futuristic in a way. And in a Lego set, almost like fiction finally coming to life somehow.
