Apollo 11 Lunar Module Lego Set
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- I already have a lunar module from the Saturn V set, but now in time for the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 Lego released a larger minifigure scale set with a lot more detail. The vehicle splits into the Ascent and Descent module, and the Ascent module further separates into 3 parts so you can see the interior. The base plate is a custom build, including some lunar terrain features and astronaut footprints.
Building took about 3 hours and I streamed the whole thing live at Twitch.tv / 433144596

That's one small brick for man. One giant pain in the foot for mankind. Fantastic review
YEEEEEOWWWWWWWWW!
That is a perfect spin on the original words. Every adult including those at Lego know its true but doubt you will see them put it on the box anytime soon lol
Donald Raver Depends which side is up! Assemble accordingly and stepping on it is no longer a problem.
Donald Raver I’m immune to standing on Lego ._.
@@xaviation5144 godlike
this needs a scaled version of Saturn V so that I can literally have nowhere to live and have to stay in a motel only to come back home to play with this...you listening Lego?
I saw somebody create the command module in this scale.
Maybe, if you called LEGO, LEGO, instead of Lego.
Seriously, haven't you ever looked at the pins on a
brick? They ALL say LEGO, not Lego.
(Sorry, I'm just messing with you. I also want a minifig
sized Saturn V.) If we had that, someone could actually
climb inside the first stage propellant tanks!

3:56 "The fuel and oxidizer tanks aren't quite in the right place but I'm glad they're there"... no mercy for those Lego engineers LOL
Listening to Scott Manley describe highly technical lunar module subsystems using a lego toy is hilarious to me lol
Yes! I do love Lego! But I could listen to Scott reviewing a piece of stone and I would like that also somehow...
I'd like to see someone scale a Saturn V model to the new lander
lol imagine the cost of that bad boy
Jesse H. Might just be something for them to have at a store, not an actual set. Still would be awesome!
yeah hehe
Sounds like a job for a Lego Master Builder (actual job title)
Search for Minifigure-Scale LEGO Saturn V Rocket! on youtube. Tested interviewed a kid who did just that, the thing is huge! Roughly 10ft tall, and he did his own Lunar Lander and launch pad/tower as well.
Thanks Scott - this was a great video!
JARED OWEN I LOVE YOUR VIDS
I look forward to your video reading out the reply email from LEGO regarding the inaccuracies in this kit. 🤣
i think they will tell him to kick rocks, considering NASA themselves were very involved in designing this kit with LEGO haha.
If you want to see a Lego ISS, there is currently a special contest on Lego Ideas with one day remaining. If the ISS wins this contest, it will be sold as a Lego model.
So? Give us the update. Did it win? Do I need to save up for yet another amazing Lego set? Is my wife going to kill me?
@@as7river The ISS won!!! It will be sold in 2020!
Scott, I was wondering if you could do a video concerning why the foil on space X's falcon second stage expands and contracts while in space. I've been curious about the physics behind that particular thing.
This is just my theory, but it could have to do with the cryogenic fuel causing condensation on the surface underneath the foil, that then gradually boils off as the atmosphere gets thinner and the heat radiated from the engine increases.
I noticed what almost seemed to be a heartbeat on the starlink sats themselves just prior to deployment. Happening at a consistent interval, but couldn't figure out what would have been causing it.
Consider that there is some atmosphere in the foil. It was unlikely manufactured in a vacuum, but at the same time 1 bar might rupture it. So possibly a partial fill was performed to mitigate the stress. In space the air mass is wandering back and forth. Then again, the air could have been purged during flight and the lack of pressure either way allows the envelope to sway back and forth. I've noticed and pondered the same question.
So I spent the last two days binging almost 150 of your videos starting from two years ago. What a ride! Timelapsing through two years of spacecraft history and events has got me hyped for space again, something I kinda lost this last year.
Got mine on order!
And agreed, the Saturn V kit is the ducks guts, perhaps the greatest kit LEGO has ever made.
The footprints sold it for me! And I agree about the Saturn V :)
Love the video montage. Glad to see your youngster appreciates her Geeky Dad. Kudos!
Ya. I saw that too. First, he brags about building it himself and then she is doing half the work ;-) And she did not get a beer.
She grew so much. :o I guess that's what young people do.
I ordered the Saturn V as soon as it came out. I did the same with this. I am waiting patiently for it to arrive. The closest LEGO Store is 4 hours away.
Waiting for 06.05 before I order for the free little 🚀
Meh. Stickers. And they didn't bring us any Falcons.
Steve LaVergne Not even sure where to find a store now the big chain of toy stores went bankrupt.
@@ThePixel1983 it really is a shame that we didn't got a single SpaceX Set.. I mean we had freaking 2 Falcon Sets in the same review!
And yes, stickers suck
@@johnfrancisdoe1563 You can only get this one at a LEGO store or at the online LEGO store. It's not anywhere else.
Surprisingly, Walmart has great prices on sets, particularly the ones they carry in stores.
Lego and Apollo 11. The inspirational stuff of my 8 year old dreams 50 years ago...There was no Lego Lander pre-made kit back in 1969, but that didn’t stop me building one.....
Oh yeah, I built tons of spaceships as a kid.
Distance to the moon is approximately one arm’s length. Live science!
Just bear in mind that the model will slowly move away from you at about 4mm a year
Yeah, but it cost you an arm and a leg to get there.
When the lego model required more advanced technology to bring to you than the real thing.
Indeed.
More advanced technology often means way less infrastructure and resources...
Apollo 11 launched on my 5th birthday. And I got to stay up late and watch the "...one small step..." on TV and I still remember all that.
I was 4 when I watched it
First the Saturn v now this, Lego is trying to bankrupt me
I've got to get my car serviced this week, so if that's not too expensive then I'm treating myself to this kit.
same
"and it was quite enjoyable because I'm a nerd and I love doing this"
My life in a nutshell.
IBM used to have a core memory plant in Belgium and utilised some local ex lace makers
Your content makes me very happy! Haven't played around with Lego for many years, but am eager to get my hands on maybe at least the Saturn V Lego set!
Oh right in the childhood... I always loved playing with Lego. The level of detail on this thing is amazing!
I was actually at the Air and space museum in DC this morning and the LM display is one of the more impressive ones. The RC thrusters are definitely closer in person. They actually have deflectors on the bottom thruster to protect the base of the module. And I went back and could see that plaque in my pictures. Thanks Scott!
The time-lapse assembly is really cool.
Thanks for the idea of a ‘Quality Time’ thing to do with your teenager :P
This is really awesome, I hope they'll do a Saturn V or Soyuz with this amount of detail, in the future
There is saturn V
Yeah, but not with this amount of detail. The Lego 21309-kit is more comparable to the old Revell model detail-wise
That would be ginormous. As would the price.
@@Vincent_Quak you must realize that Saturn V is way bigger than landing module and making with such amount of details would mean that it would be at least twice the current size which becomes quite hard to store, way more expensive(probably a lot of people would still buy it, but a lot wouldn't)...
If you would scale up the Saturn V (1:110) to the same scale as this set (~1:35), then the rocket would be more than 3m tall (10ft in freedom units).
That looked quite tedious but also fun and relaxing. For me, maybe not beer but the combustible alternative lol ;D
Well now they need to make a Command/Service Module in this scale. And a Soyuz 7K-T spacecraft. Hopefully I don't need to explain where I'm going with this.
The Apollo Soyuz mission? They could have these separate, but also have the docking rings, that went between, the Apollo, and Soyuz. Mission was July 1975.
Its also worth noting that in most countries, Lego is very frequently and reliably discounted, so unless you urgently need this set, probably best to hold off, because it'll definitely be 20% off or more at some point in the near future.
I all ready bought two Saturn fives, witch were both build by a six year old. Now I've ordered the LEM . Thanks Scott, for making me excited!
A great set, i love the reflective finish. Original set better scalewise imo, but definitely a great rework of it
Cost of Lego Lunar Lander set $100. Cost of a morning with your teenage daughter talking with you and assembling a lego set: priceless!
I can't wait to get this set!
If I had known as a young boy that when I grew up men even older than me would still be playing with Legos in public - well, I would have been much more comforted by life.
I dont see enough of families doing things together with shared interest. This made my day. Cheers.
I hope your life is as good as I imagine it for you :) I really enjoy your videos, your passion for space, legos, being a father, playing space games.... I'd like to be your friend for having long talks about great things :) have a happy life.
great! scott, loved the fast forward, i rewatched it as .25 speed for better viewing. good job!
Oh so they used Lego’s as props to stage the landing
It all makes sense now
Shhh it's a secret
I just watched a grown man play/talk about legos, and I freaking loved it.
Lego - never "legos". Lego is singular and plural.
@@ChrisPage68 Isn't Lego a noun? Wouldn't plural of Lego be Legos?
My wife is going out of town, so I'm finally going to put mine together. Should look nice on display with my Saturn V, Mars Curiosity Rover and the Hayabusa satellite.
I see that Stratocaster and Fender amp back there! Scott plays guitar!
A CSM to the same scale would be cool.
Now I just hope they follow this up with a minifig scale CSM next year.
Should I do the standard "wow Skye is so old" comment? XD
Please do.
At this point Orion is getting ready for retirement, right?
I'm not going to put this as a new thread comment, but I'm sure a lot of people went from here to watch the twitch just look at Skye...
Well, at least Buzz didn't accidentally break of the ascent engine ;-)
Well, I think I'll be $160 AUD poorer in the near future...
Also, if you're a podcast person, I've just found the BBC World Service podcast 13 Minutes to the Moon. It's really good! (And it's got theme music by Hans Zimmer which is astounding)
I noticed the clever footsteps right away too. Nice detail.
LOL Scott you got me thinking there, 6:35 “Which right now is about one arms-lenght” :D
So many head wobbles involved in LEGO crafting
I was totally oblivious to the footsteps. Luckily, my son is way smarter than me and immediately recognized them for what they are.
Also agree the Saturn V is the better overall set. Especially with a 50 year anniversary set for Apollo 11, they could have at least ditched the stickers and gone for printed parts. And I'm a bit disappointed that the legs can't be folded. They could have added a sliding ability to the lower attachment points and that would have been enough to retract the legs.
Aside from that, a really good set with interesting functions and build techniques.
I liked her getting less and less interested, looking at her phone, eating, while Scotts eyes were shining more and more of enthusiasm.
I would love to see a version of a later lander with a rover on board
Now, we must build a Saturn V with this LM scale ! It will be giant !
Ughg, you just made me buy it!! Just a warning to people, don't go on ebay for this, the prices are inflated and many may be scams. Get it from Lego website or trusted shop.
Well done guys!
I like how any video about lunar landing gets the encyclopedia link
They made a 1967 Mustang set I really liked too, I'd recommend picking it up if you love legos and hate money.
The whole thing about weaving probably(?) relates to early looms being "programmed" with hole cards, which was also used in computers for a long time.
no, apollo memory was literally weaved using electric cables.
My favorite part is how accurate the space suits are!!!!
The torso print is fantastic, but the helmets and backpacks could be a little better.
That gold helmet on the minfig 😍
My dad had the first ever set of the lander (made back in the 60s/70s I think?), all I could find was the manual though, never any pieces...
(hidden all in one box, buried forever beneath their brethren of more modern sets)
Also, holy F has Sky grown up!
Now we just need a CM of the same scale to go with it.
So there's a little more to designing a Lego set than just using the parts that already exist. They also have to be quite sturdy and able to be built by a child, and thats why you'll see models designed by fans that are much, much more accurate to the source material than any official set, because fans dont have to worry about that sort of thing.
Besides the Lego Architecture Robie House this is now my SECOND "must have someday in my lifetime" Lego set :D
I bought the Saturn V two years ago and this one's on it's way to me now :D
I was hoping you'd be talking about the 3 lunar lander options that were recently announced. Any chance of getting a video on that?
Seems like a worthy idea.
@@scottmanley I'm waiting.....
Loved the time lapse fun
Awesome! Now I need to see the numbers for making a scaled to Lego man Saturn 5 ship setup would entail. Helpfully, they now have some sets for the modules like the Lunar lander.
Back in the day I had a cardboard LM model, which was amazingly detailed considering it was basically stiff paper. It was a giveaway from Gulf Oil gas stations. Obviously, mine didn't survive the last 50 years, but I wonder if you can still find one...
Interesting. Maybe you could do a video on how big the moon would need to be to scale if it were made out of Lego. :)
I hope that's American beer that you're drinking while assembling the LEM...!
Didn’t know this was coming out! Just picked one up, thanks Scott!
loved the family timelapse...!
In the time lapse, I was expecting to see the beer can receive a lot more use. ;)
Looks very nice. Can't wsit to get my hand on one that I ordered from Lego yesterday. It's supposed to be a Christmas present for me and my kid but I'm not sure if I can wait that long :D oh and I do have the Saturn V kit and as you said, it's an excellent kit and I too highly suggest people to get it if it's still available.
Can't wait for the CM scaled to this.
A Command/Service module that stacks to this lander would be incredible!
I remember using gold mylar tape to decorate the satellites I'd build for my LEGO Space Shuttle (The original NASA one, not the later one with no NASA/U.S.A. markings) to do service missions on. 🤣 _I was a weird kid._
Still waiting for a Soyuz and laika to come out in Lego.
Thanks for doing this! Was thinking about getting it, but it didnt look great on the pictures. But now Im convinced! Definitely gonna pick it up. Maybe for future videos: Your favorite space models! Could be Lego or anything else which you think is worth the purchase.
Awww, thanks for this awesome review! :)
There's one reason why I am more intrigued with this one than the Saturn V: The Lunar Module more or less actual LEGO people scale, so if you wanted to build an accurately scaled LEGO world, it would make perfect sense in there. I wish they had an accurately scaled Saturn V set. :D
Also: "The ones printed on the box are wrong - because they don't make any sense."
Perhaps the best argument ever. :D
Nice video. This is coming from someone who put together way too many Lego sets in my time and would be perfectly happy to never see another Lego. My point: Scott can make *anything* interesting and educational.
Now, if IKEA (which is just Legos for adults) comes out with a lunar lander, I'd buy and build that in a heartbeat.
Wow. There has to be some times I'm not following you on twitch anymore, because Sky has grown to a real demoiselle.
That was an epic build sequence!
This video reminded me it was out, ordered it immediately. Really strong video review, well done.
6:04
"Fate has ordained, that Scott Manley has broken the lunar module"
Wow, impressive build
Thanks for sharing👍😀
You convinced me. I will buy both sets. Actually i went to "Smyths" to buy by the Moon Lander Set, but they didn't have it. Instead they had the Saturn V. So...
despite the rcs being a little off I think great lego moccers can use that and make the altair lander. quite a bit of the base can be adapted and stretched. to somewhat remake Altair.
Now all we need is Lego to make an Apollo CSM (most likely not minifig compatiable) to go along side with the LEM. The will have ALL my money.
I love the little extra details!
The best part of that was watching your Daughter & the Dog. Is't hilarious!
OK, I now want a command/service module
I wish Lego released a Saturn V to THIS scale! I want an 11ft tall kit!
I expect to see this in you background now Scott
And a nice timelapse :)
1:38 “WHILE HAVING A COUPLE OF BEERS”
6:04 “I JUST BROKEN THE MOD- LUNAR MODULE”
It's a pretty neat set kinda expensive but fun build and has some rare parts and pieces
I hope LEGO makes more space stuff in future, it was a shame when the LEGO ideas Falcon Heavy didn't get through :(
Why didn't falcon heavy get through?
@@worm6942 I don't know, LEGO just decided not to approve the set. Maybe it's because Elon was smoking weed?
Always excited to see your videos!
Same
we wants it... we neeeeeeds! Must have, the precious!
also... 9:55 is that Skye??? omg... She was just a kid!!! What the hell happened? I feel old now. Used to see a kid in your videos! Not a full grown woman! :O
Cool video, very enjoyable! But can we go back to 1:25 of the video "...obviously what we're going to be talking about..." - uhm, what you should have been talking about is the 4 (four!) minifigs on the smaller diorama. So one of the Apollo missions had a couple of stow-a-ways? :-) :-) :-)
j/k Thanks for sharing a fun video.
